turboguzzi Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Really enjoying my recently bought professional OMCN 2500 lbs. jack, it's one of those thing that make you ask "how did i do without one all these years"... Was new old stock sitting in a shop that closed, cant complain at 150$ One question though. Following a post ive read here, i lifted the rear pushing the rear diff, but didnt really like what id does to all the rubber mounts that visibly compress..... Am i worrying for nothing or are there better ways to lift the rear wheels? Cheers TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Rear diff is the way to go for both wheels. I've been doing it for years. No problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yep, diff is best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Lifting by the rear diff is no problem, but as the OP noted, it does put an extra stress on the rubber bushings. I would not leave a car suspended by the rear diff for an extended period, just for lifting and lowering for maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchy Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Rear diff: up you go. Make sure you have a block of rubber/wood between jack and diff, and jack on the flat part! Do not forget axle stands if you are crawling underneath!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
