I have both in my arsenal, but I’d need ~100 mm of room from the bottom of the bowl to the base plate – that one has 90 mm according to the specs. But now I know what to look for and that the ensemble would still be a lot cheaper than a Dana. Might suit me fine, considering my aforestated needs and strictly amateur status.
 
If youve got a big drill you coud just drill a approx 80mm hole in the main plate and skip the riser bit. (and bolt the black bowl in)

I did a big hole in a plate with a 'fly cutter' in a hefty pillar drill for one of my builds.

Or ask them about longer rods

Or make your own raiser rods 125mm * 15/16mm with m6 X 10 holes tapped in each end. (easy on a lathe - impossible without)

After the self drilled version I 'moved up' to getting my own plate laser cut, this is =+/- 100m hole/bowl. Its just a bit more elegant than SMM cut alu sheet.

I think buying that slider just for the trucks is well worth it - I think I said that at the start!

NB do not make any cuts without performing your own measurements!
