I used my 2.5 ton floor jack. It can lift the car fairly high, probably ~65cm's (or two feet high). I lifted the car from the rear jacking pad on the side of the car... the car will tilt slightly but its not that bad. I put a jack stand on the front pad. Then I lifted the car from the other rear pad and set a jack stand under the other front pad. Then I lifted the rear of the car from the diff pumpkin. I put a block of wood under the diff when lifting it.
Some say not to jack/rasie the car from the diff... but I did not see any other way I could life the rear of the car safely. I really do not see how this could damage the car. So that is what I decided to do.
