jack up the rear and remove both wheels. I am wondering the best method to
raise both rears wheels at the same time. Being that I don't have a hoist
at my disposal should I just use 2 jacks, one on each side.. or would it
be safe to put a trolley jack with timbers under the gearbox? .. I have
seen some people do this on conventional rwd cars and lifting the diff up
but I'd just be worried that I'd damage the gearbox or some mounts etc...
thoughts?

You can probably do it without damage, but:
You need to put it on jack stands for safety anyway, so you could
just jack each side up and put the stand underneath. No way that
I - or you - should trust a floor jack alone.
