1st that jack isn't tall enough. i had that same size (minus the lock) and fully extended it didn't reach the rogue.
2nd YES!
the casters on that jack dont have a wide enough foot-print to support a swaying vehicle. thats a BS sales gimmick(the locking mechanism). almost every car iv ever worked on had a stuck bolt and needed a breaker bar- and ended up swaying the car back & forth. on a small jack stand that would have tilted the whole thing and it would have dropped. you need normal jack stands, or a really wide jack.
