most engine hoists are rated well over 2T. out the top is easiest in a lot of cases, but not always. depends how you have the car supported.
The top vs. bottom debate has been raging for years lol However I find it easiest out the bottom.
If you put a big piece of wood under the cross member between the 2 tie bar mounts, then it gives you a good central point to jack on, with a large bottle jack etc, then support on stands on the chassis legs.
