Just use 1 trolley jack.

Jack one side up and use axle stand then go jack other side up.

Costco do 2 ton low lift trolley jacks (3 1/2 inch low lift) they're £58+VAT (£68)

They're the same ones you see being sold in the private sale section for £90. I guess those selling need to mark up to cover driving there to get them?
