Toss a tarp over to keep the sun off if not in a garage and just climb in..I had to use a step stool as I have a 6" lift.. I'm 250 in that pic just to give you a referance to the working room... taking the hood off will get more clearance though... these pics where taken when I was replacing my heads with ones I had already rebuilt.. as far as trying to bring it lower, you could always jack it up by the frame, take off the front wheels, then lower it onto wood blocks on the lower control arm and keep it just high enough to clear the rotors off the ground.
