Wanted to make a cheap wheel stand

So I am contemplating putting my bronco in an informal car show and really, the only advantage I might have is offroad-ability. So I need to showcase that with flex!
Anyone have any ideas on the cheap to do this? I don't even have those little oil changing ramps, but that would work. I've got some decently tall jack stands I could put at opposite corners??
Or just lift one corner? I'm thinking I can get 24" or so before I lift another tire.

Trailer loading ramp and something to stabilize it?

I will be trailering it there, so I did think about a way to use the trailer and ramps... But I might need to build something from 2x4's to get some extra height. And get there early to get the space!

you could make a quick junior RTI ramp (or full size for that matter) if your trailering to a show. Stack of tires works too. Just make sure its safe, not only to spectators, but the safety of your Bronc with people walking around it!

Could just get some cinder blocks and make some steps or something. Somewhat easy to maneuver.

Yeah safety is key! It's got to stay put should someone push it around, or if it's windy etc.
Maybe 2 trailer ramps + 2 cinder blocks on opposite corners would get a decent affect. Probably not as cool as one front tire way up in the air...

to bad you weren't closer... we could build a stand out of tubing (at max articulation) and skin it with bead-rolled aluminum, maybe some buck rivets and dimple died. Some SEMA crap right there!!!!
