Strange, I have the 1 ton folding lift also. The steel casters make the legs sit so high off the ground that they would not slide under the front A-arms without jacking up the front end 2-3 inches. Then again my truck has 3" lowering springs. I had to set the lift arm length at 1/4 ton just to reach in far enough, and even at that the jack handle was rubbing the front grill. The SB350 when lifted back into the engine bay would not reach within 12 inches of the motor mount perches. Perhaps HF has made changes to that lift, which is quite common.
