I agree and make sure you do not bend the diff cover in the process!!!!!!

To be on the safe side, once you get the car jacked up, lower it onto jack stands. Don't leave the pumkin resting on the jack.

+1... if you're getting underneath the car make sure youeither use jack stands or put the tire(s) (that I assume you're going to remove in most of the cases where you gonna lift up the car) under the pinch rail(s) just in case. Also if you're going to use the pumpkin make sure to use a piece of wood or something because the differential cover can be easily damaged which can cause a potential leak

Just jack it up at the pumpkin, put jack stands under car and then lower enough so it's resting on the stands not the jack.

Before you start jacking up the rear, make sure you chock the front wheels so the car doesn't roll forward.

I hope you are kidding about jacking it up on the exhaust.
