Super duty on a two post lift?

Normally I try to put the 4 lifting points on the frame of the truck, but the late model super duty has the big front suspension beam and doesn't allow enough room for the adjustable pad to support the frame. Putting the lifting pads behind the beam, I think, is too close to the center of the vehicle.

I'm just curious how everyone else with a two post asymmetrical lift deals with.
This is the only vehicle I have problems lifting, with a safe conscious.

Thanks.

In the past I have tried a 2 lift system on my 05 F250 SD Crew and with/without pads it has seemed really sketchy. Place the pads forward and the rear end sags quite a bit, place them aft and the front seems to bounce up and down. Maybe its just me but a 2 post for this particular vehicle is a nogo. Someone else may have better experiences with this, I would never try this again.

It took a little time to adjust the pads and balance, this was a stable lift. It was doing like you said, rear kept dipping. I've had several f550,f350s on the lift before, but they had the leaf spring suspension on the front. The newer super duty is the only one I've had problems with.
Thanks for your input.
