On budget, how to lift dragster in pits?

I'm sure there are expensive but cool ways to jack a dragster for between-round maintenance, but I am looking for the "Po-boy" route. Needs to get it far enough up to do the bearings. What do you guys recommend?

I run the front tires up on a pair of those in expensive plastic car ramps (that can actually hold up the rear of my dually with the 48' trailer hooked to it) then I jack the car up with a floor jack from under the rearend and put a small set of jackstands under the frame just behind the motorplate.

 

Spitzer, www.gospitzer.com, makes a nice set of stands to go under the car. You really only need the rear as you can use a set of ramps, per Mr. Frigon, to take care of the front. Anything pnuematic/hydraulic is going to be expensive. Enerpac rams and all those parts aren't cheap! We use ProJack and I wouldn't want to crawl under a car with a set of homemade pnuematic/hydraulic jacks...plus, it is a patented system that ProJack developed.
