I cut the trans mount pad on my xmember and dropped it 3/8" so the angle should be ok. at least thats what Richmond says to do on their install page.

Agree, That is what I posted in the thread above.
a 3/8" drop (of the pad) should put you very close
to the correct angle for the engine/trans.

I am not a young guy any more so I bought a dedicated trans jack tool to support the weight of the trans while I was under the car.
You still need to get the trans on the Trans cradle of the jack but from that point the only effort is raising the trans by pumping the lever.

This is the one I adapted to my floor jack: $56.00 plus shipping.
