I've got the same sliders and none of the Pit Bull stand will work. Well, maybe one will if I adjust it, but haven't tried. I just remove the sliders, I use red loctite on the right side and blue on the left. I always loosen and remove the left one.

I've got the axle sliders too. You can use a double sided stand to lift the bike for general maintenance etc., but you obviously can't use it to remove the rear wheel. You still need a single sided stand to swap the wheel out

I do the same thing. the bike feels more sturdy up on a double stand too.

I have a single side (either) T-Rex stand. I use the sliders from Fastbikes USA. They are longer than most (more likely to protect the swingarm) and are a no tools design that twists off in seconds for stand use.

I bought the T-Rex single sided stand and it is very sturdy
