The only thing I would do different on the ground would be to remove the transfercase. On a lift I remove them together and even leave the drive shafts connected to the transfercase. The trans jack I use is very strong and stable. On the ground you've got a lot less space to work with.

I've done it on the ground with an old style transmission jack. My method differed from Kevin's in that I left the transfer case on and disconnected the driveline. My driveline may be different than the smaller trucks, the flange is flat and easily removed via 4 large bolts and it falls off. Way easier than separating the transfer case. I recommend raising the rear end as far as you can. The extra room will allow you to get the transmission out from under the truck if you want.
One thing - a transmission jack is a requirement for this job unless you are a candidate for the Worlds Strongest Man competition. They are WAY too heavy to handle alone.

A smal roll around tranny jack is worth it's weight in gold. It's a pretty easy one man job if you have one. The output flange is the same for all of us....the 4x4's anyways. Never paid any attention on the 4x2.

Here's a cheap little jack that works great, I've used mine on 2 ZF's, an E4OD, and 4L60E tranny in a suburban.
