Hey Moosestang I have lifted all three of my Stangs & all of my work trucks from the center of the rear like in your pic. I have a Ford service manual for 2006 & one day I looked under section called jacking & lifting & it said specifically not to lift car from center of rear or serious damage could occur, no other explanation, I couldn't believe it. I'm wondering if they are worried about damaging the diff cover or bending the tubes from lifting so far from the springs. I don't know anybody got any ideas.

Can anyone comment on this? This seems like a nice easy way to lift the rear-end but like the guy above says Ford says its unsafe...
Any pros want to comment?

hey they say this mostly for safety.. i work at discount tire, and the reason we dont jack it up wiht just one on the rear diff. is becuase it makes the car/truck unstable, and could tip to one side.. and fall.. etc.. we dont use jack stands ever.. and sometimes we'll have a big truck up on four jacks and all the wheels off.. theres not time for the stands.. but with these cars.. as long as the front is on the ground.. chaulked.. your fine using one jack on the diff... if you need to get the fronts off.. i would chaulk the rears.. and then jack it up from the side of the car.. near the wheel well.. this is what we do wiht lowered cars, and exotic cars.. and alot of racing cars..
need anymore help... just say so
