I have a skid plate on mine. I think I got it from Carbon One.
When just lifting the front, I Use a regular bike jack and lift on the front of the plate.
If I need to lift the whole trike I lift the rear first and set it on jack stands then move to the front.
I have a stack of 6 2x8s I set the front wheel on.
It's not that high but it's a lot more comfortable working height.
I wish I had room for a real lift.
