Anyone use paddock / axle stands for '83 Midnight Maxim?

Hello all. Do any of you out there use paddock / axle stands for your Midnight Maxim, or any similarly configured XJ for that matter? If so, what's working for you?

My limitations are:
1) A hydraulic jack may be out. XJ has aftermarket 4-to-1 pipes, which as you know make it difficult to use a hydraulic jack.
2) A ramp is certainly out due to budget and space.
3) Anything relying on a center stand is out, because XJ's is MIA.
4) My sky-hook, chain-hoist and sling idea is just foolish and dangerous.

I recently returned from a two month deployment, which left XJ on it's tires, covered, in the unheated garage. In my absence, my wife is not responsible for rolling heavy XJ back and forth every few days to keep the rubber from squaring-off in the sub-zero. I need to stand the bike upright for maintenance and storage, and to get it off the tires.

Cheers.

I've never used a paddock / axle stand however, I'm sure that you could find a replacement center stand on eBay or maybe if someone on the forum has an extra and is willing to part with it.
Good luck

Thanks XJ700VET,
I've found center stands on eBay in the last 6 months for a reasonable price, but I was hoping to get both tires off the ground, and with more stability than what a center stand can offer.

Cheers.
