I put a piece of 5/4 decking I have laying around under my kickstand to drain oil.



Then, technically, wouldn't that be 1 1/4?

I have the Sears one and it's worked well for cleanings, chain maintenance, and winter storage. Definitely use the strap and, in general, I only lift it high enough to just clear the tires from the ground unless I'm doing something more complex.
