No jacking on the rear diff.

I noticed on the owners manual it says not to jack on the rear differential. I've always used the rear differential to raise the rear end. Any reason for this?

Just be careful. They used a pretty cheap cover from the factory. Just make sure the diff cover isn't being touched and you'll be fine.

+1. i have used the diff many times. the cover will bnend real easy if you are not careful. that could also cause a leak.

Thanks guys, that is really good to know. I have always been afraid to use the differential since the manual says not to. When my J&M relo brackets and LCAs come in this week I will have to give it a try.

Actually, you want to use the diff with those, because you need to torque the LCAs under load.
