With the D2 on perfectly flat ground and the e-brake off I just get under it, and grab one of the front tires and gently roll the D2 forward/backward until they line up. You can push the yoke on the drive shaft in all the way so it gives you plenty of clearance. Then once it's lined up just extend the drive shaft over the bolts & you're good to go.
Some may find this technique risky, but when you don't have anyone else to help it beats climbing in/out from under it while you gently move it forward/backward.
Now if you have another person handy you can spot it while someone pushes it, but it'll still take a bit to get it exactly spot on.
As long as you're on 100% flat ground it shouldn't be hard at all to be under the D2 and gently rock it forward/backward to line them up.

Yeah my way of having it in the ground & rolling it sounds dangerous, but I just found one of my 6 ton jack stands had actually broken the last time I used it & I caught it just before I was going to use it again for installing a lift kit..... Jack stands are great, but like anything else they can fail as well.
