Storing a body in the air above the chassis?

I feel like there aren't many solutions to this problem. I have a small shop, 18ft x 28ft. Its plenty long enough to work around the ends of anything I would want to roll in. The one thing I cant do is have two vehicles side by side. Its 18ft wide but I have storage on the sides that cant be moved. It would be too tight anyway.

Id like to raise the body of my panel high enough so I can roll the chassis in and out while Im working on it. Easy enough to do using some 4x4's as cross braces but Id have to set them on something pretty wide for stability and to clear the tires when I roll back and forth Ill need to go out fairly wide.

Im trying to think of something that would be sturdy yet narrower than say a barrel (a barrel would give me the height I need plus some). I dont want to use cinder blocks or that sort of thing, they seem kind of dangerous. I was thinking of the cribbing stands I see people build, but I feel they will need to be too high to be stable? No I cant suspend the whole thing from the ceiling =)

Any thoughts, or is this something that's just not feasible to do the way Im thinking?
