Default raising 91 firebird front in to get it on a trailer

I'm thinking of ways to raise and lower the front end of my 91 firebird so i can get it on the trailer with out having to mess with raising the trailer tong, extension ramps etc.

My question is...Im wondering if there is a way to put air bags on it and just use them to raise the car to get it on the trailer and deflate them to race.

would air bags do the trick? or do you guys have any ideas that would let me do this without messing with the suspension while racing?

2 X 8's before the ramps help a lot, sometimes you need to double them up if the car's that low.

How much does this '91 Firebird race car weigh?

Can you post pics of the race car and trailer?

Doh! Just realized that this thread is from 6 months ago- somebody necroposted it back from the dead. The OP hasn't been here in over 6 months...
