Default 2 Post Lift Possible?

Hi all:

I need to do a fluid service (tranny spill and fill, Tcase, diffs, prop shaft lube), and my back hasn't been so hot lately. I have a buddy with a 2 post lift in his shop, but remember reading somewhere that you need a 4 post for a D2. Is this really true, or is a 4 post just preferred? I'd love to not be crawling under and out of the truck all day. If I CAN use the 2 post, can you help me out with where the lift points would be? The lift does have locking arms, and I'd rather not use the suspension components. Pictures would be AWESOME!

Thanks!

What do you use for the lift points though? My gut says as far towards the ends as I can get on a flat part of the frame.

2 post lifts are fine as you can see. I used a 2 post on my LR3 and it weighs way more than the D2.
