I don't know how high you need to lift, but I got one of these (on sale
at Costco--maybe you have an equivalent 'box' store--for $1,000 a while
back).

Gets the car up high enough to just get under it with a creeper (it has
safety locks). My BN2 is up on one now, I'll grab a photo later if you
like. And, no, I don't think it's a good idea to lift under the outriggers.
