@BDR427 has a QuickJack
Racecar Pit Lift Jacking System - QuickJack- Ranger
For $1k it's a pretty easy thing to talk myself into. I haven't pulled the trigger but when compared to the cost and extra work of putting in a 2 post lift, it's a pretty good compromise.
Lifting the car to remove tires seems pretty straightforward but the thing I don't like is that sliding in from either side of the car is impaired.
