The narrowest group 24 I can find is 6 7/8th inches. Honestly, I think the only 12V battery I've seen that narrow is a motorcycle battery.

I don't think checking the bearings is being too pushy but don't be surprised if the owner insists on doing the jacking. Hi-lo frames are lightweight and bend easily if jacked in the wrong place.
