I've never used a 2x4, and haven't had too much of an issue. I leave the bike leaned all the way over on its kickstand, and position the rear stand underneath the left spool. I start to push the bike toward vertical, and as I do I'm looking over the rear of the bike to make sure that the right spool is coming down into the rear stand holder. I'm pushing it slowly, so if it's not perfectly aligned, I can always lower the bike right back down on its kickstand. But once I see the spool on the right sitting in its carrier, I can let go of the bike and push the rear stand down and the bike's safely on the stand.
