The jack idea should work but I'd recommend a back up support...ya know...just in case.

Ya know that would work great for the trike.
Yeah, I've seen the rescue jacks, I had no idea these were available. They've been around for a couple years apparently. They have telescoping steel cores, but there's no way I'd use one on its own, lift the vehicle and lower it on stands.

I talked to my s-i-l after posting, he runs trucking and repair for a large commercial construction outfit, they use big versions. His hot tip was to use a cordless compressor (they use a Milwaukee 18v) to keep hoses out of the way. That way you can use in the field as well...

I ordered one, will have it in a couple days.
