Hey Brent! I've got a couple of options for you. The only jack we have with that capacity that is going to be that short is the Bulldog Square Jack w/ Footplate item # BD96FR. It's 19-15/16" when retracted, however it can not be connected to another jack.
The next closest option, that can be connected, is the Square Direct Weld Jack item # TJD2SP-12000SP-F. It has a 10,000 lbs capacity and sits 28" tall when retracted. To use it in tandem you will need the Square Direct Weld Jack item # TJD-12000SP-F2. The handle for this follow leg can be discarded as you would want to use the handle on the lead leg with the two speed operation.
All you would need to do to connect the two is to make a cross shaft, which you can source the parts you need at your local hardware store.
