    Plan B is to keep an eye out in the trading post. They come up from time to time on the cheap, only problem being you usually have to remove and move them yourself.
    Definately the way to go.. although don't get one unless its a four poster.

    But the four poster one will limit what you can do with it unlike the two poster which allows the wheels to hang and gives you good access all around.

    you can get airjack attachments for 4 posters so it can give you the best of both worlds. A lot of suspension work requires the car to be resting on its weight.

    main problem is that a decent 4 poster is probably twice the price!
