Default looking for an easy way jack up my car

I'm looking for an easier way to jack my car up when I work on it. Right now I have to take the front bumper off and then lift it. One of my friends suggested air jacks like you see in the british touring cars and indy cars (i think).

If anyone else has any suggestions I'm all ears.... the air jack is a cool idea though, but I'm sure it's expensive and weighs a lot.

is your car lower than your stock jack can go?? try lifting your car and then sliding that under.. might work.. unless your car is way way down there...

Or you can buy two jacks, and jack up at the jack point behind the front tire enough for you to get the jack under the front. I have to do that with my RX-7...though with my CRX, it's a full fiberglass front end, so it's not tough to take off.
