Well, here's how I ended up doing it:
1. Jack up one side by front jacking point, place jack stand under rear jacking point. Lower car.
2. Jack up other side of car by front jacking point, place jack stand under rear jacking point. Lower car. Now rear is up.
3. Was able to get jack under front central jack point to jack up front. Placed jack stands under both front jacking points.

Note 1: Did not need ramps or boards.
Note 2: This is NOT an ideal method, as it introduces twisting force on the chassis. Safe to do once or twice, but not all the time.
Note 3: Ordering this lift now (http://www.harborfreight.com/6000-lb...ump-46604.html)

It's amazing how nice and easy it is to change wheels/tires and brake pads with all four corners int he air at once. It's also fun when you have air tools. I think with the combination of the lift, air tools, and power bleeder, it will be possible to service all four corners in under 30 minutes.
