I just pulled and installed mine in the driveway (sloped) with this same jack.
First thing I did was buy some 4x3 angle iron, bolted to trans jack plate so that the new steel pieces hug the pan and lift on the pan bolts heads. Very secure and no weight on pan.
I used this to pull the old trans and then jacked it up under the truck and removed trans jack. Go to HF and get those little dollies for car wheels. I lowered the trans onto these and slid it out from under the truck. I only had to jack one side (passenger) of the truck in the front.
Going back was the opposite. Oh and I left the transfer case on for balance.
There is a gasket between the trans and transfer case.
Using cherry picker/lift place entire assembly on dollies. Roll under truck. Place one jack under tc, one under front of the trans.
[This is the only really difficult part. I bolted a small 2x2 angle iron piece onto my other jack so I could lift from the front of the truck (under engine). This held the trans from falling off side to side. ]
Jack assembly up until you can get the trans jack under and secured to trans.
From here remove front jack. Use rear to help angle assembly to match engine and bolt up.
A serious pita. Especially when the wife is complaining the whole time..
I have pics if you need them.
