I\'d think it would be ok with a block of wood between the 2 to spread the load & not have the jack pad directly on the diff casing

I jack / stand mine at the same places as Donato with no problems. I have never liked jacking at the sills...

yeah i know what you mean about the sills

apart from I did - and put the jack thru them

I usually jack up on the sills and put the stands straight in the same as Donato.

no problems so far!

Id be careful putting it under the antiroll bar pickup. The stock brackets are like swish cheese. I used the two points with the bolts in for the axle stands. Bit further in but nice and solid.

What I found with mine when I jacked the front up if you still have the under tray you cannot put the stands where indicated above as the under tray covers that part so I put my stands on the sub-frame where the lower wish bone bolts to it. Similar place to the rear really.
