Here's a different way to look at the problem of under-car access...
I recently got a set of 12" two-piece Race Ramps. These expanded
polystyrene blocks coated with a material like truck bedliner lift and
cradle the TR's wheels and tires to give me about 20" of completely
unimpeded access to the underside. The Race Ramps are highly stable --
better than jackstands in the opinion of many, including me. They keep the
suspension loaded, so are likely better for long term storage. They're
light -- like 7-8l b per crib -- and can hold 1500 lb per crib. Made in
the USA (in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.)
The 12" kind I have are two stackable pieces, with a 6" lift each time.

My TR3B was lifted in four stages, twice on each end, to get the final
height. They'd be kind of a pain to be lifting and dropping my car on a
frequent basis.
Race Ramps come in several styles and lift heights, inclduing a version
like mine that's 14" at least. Race Ramps are pricey things for what
they are -- seriously pricey, in fact. But I'm happy with 'em, and I
expect to be happy as the price fades from memory.
Here's a crummy photo, but it'll give an idea.

The hub centers are 24" off the floor.
