If I do this, I'm actually planning on driving the front on ramps and then jackstanding the rears to make more room. Just confirming again, is jacking up the differential safe to get stands under the rear 2 jack pads? I've never actually jacked a car up by a diff or by any center jack point before, just the sides, so I'm a bit cautious
I used to jack up the rear of my car on the diff until I saw how much the diff moved even with the poly bushings. I ended up screwing 2 short pieces of 2x4 together and using that between the jack and crossmember right behind the diff.
