Honda Cars have some low profile jacks you can use to get it off the ground, then for the front you can wedge a 6" chunk of 2x4 between the bag mount and the lower A arm. The rear is slightly harder. Are the bags shot? Do you have access to them through the bed? How about a short line with a schrader valve pushed into the bag connector, then air it up with a shop compressor/portable air tank. If the bags are good you could do it to all four. I have four of these short pieces of line in my tool box for emergencies. If the bags are done, you can put a 4x4 wood block in their place. A lot more work.

for the front you can put the jack under the lower control arm.... jack it up then put the front on jack stands... then take the bags out and put a 6" piece of 4x4 wood...
