When you raise your roof, you might want to consider just installing a steel I beam under your your ridge beam.
With a couple of chain hoists, you can move almost anything. I have a “shelf” at on end of the garage where, when I remove the body, I lift it up with the chain hoist and slide it on so I can work on the chassis.
