I picked up a long reach low profile floor jack from harbor freight for $129 , must weigh 150lbs. and I'm making 2 cheap wood ramps from home depot.
Actully a small scissor jack modified with a small 3" diameter steel plate on top and a larger base plate attached , would do the best lift for the front as you wouldn't need the ramps.
I found a larger scissor jack that only has a 4.75" folded height that would work great, with a large top and bottom plate, but sadly, it was only meant for height adjustment on RV's and Mobile Homes, the problem was the screw or gear reduction , didn't allow it to be used as a jack, you could only use it once the trailer was jacked up by a real jack.
It sicks that you can't get a large quality scissor jack anymore, my brother has one from the 80's that is a exactly what you need for lifting a car like the Z
