I do most of my own rigging and machine moving; strictly manual labor, and rollers. Not skates, just rollers.
So a toe jack is definitely high on list to build.
This is the first home-built with a design I appreciate. Others used wheels on cylinder exterior as a vertical guide-way, huge mistake in my opinion.
Your constructed guide-way controls alignment in a far more sensible manner.
My only suggestion is the height would bottom out the toe, not the piston rod. Just .100/ 3.9 mm is sufficient.
