Balance point for 2-post lift?

[Squeeps]

Hello all

Looking to get my truck up on a 2 post lift. There is rent-a-bay garage near me, and they will put the truck on the lift for me (liability reasons I'm sure).

My concern is that I believe the lightning f/r weight balance is much different than the gas trucks. The lifts have a graphic on them, that they go by, showing how far forward to pull the vehicle by a reference point on the floor. My concern is that by going by the default "truck under WB X" guidance, too much weight will end up on the rear of the lift.

If anyone has put these trucks on a 2 post themselves, how much does it differ from the ICE verson? To clarify, I understand where the jack points are on the frame: I'm referring to placement of the truck forward and back to achieve safe balance.

If I'm worrying about a whole lot of nothing, feel free to make fun of me below. Thanks

I don’t know for sure, but there are 4 distinct jack points. I can’t imagine anything other than using them would work. Their location is shown in the manual.

I'm not suggesting the use of alternative jack points. The arms of the 2 post can extend and swivel, allowing you to reach the jack points with the truck pulled in almost any which-way

Just a matter of how far forward or back to pull the truck, before extending the arms to the manual prescribed jack points

Gotcha….I misunderstood the assignment!
