Lifting a 2 door on a 2 post lift. Best lift points?

Started school today, gonna change my oil in the shop. Haven't put the wd21 on a lift yet. The service manual I have for the 1989 d21/wd21 only shows the d21 lifting points on a 2 post lift, which are on the frame rails right behind the front wheel wells and up against the leaf spring shackles.

Where's the pest spot for my pathfinder? Does the d21 leaf spring shackle line up with the lower link on the wd21? Is the weight distribution similar to the d21?

Any flat spot on the frame, as far forward and back as you can get. Lift it a few inches off the ground, then shake the heck out of it by bouncing on the bumpers front and back to check stability. That's good for pretty much any frame on vehicle. Great for checking stability on jack stands as well.

I've put my ranger on this lift a few times and we could never get them far enough apart, it was always super sketchy when we would shake test it first.
