Thanks Brian.

But are you saying that the diff, even though bolted securely with its mount, could drop if unsupported by a jack? I hadn't considered this, and I'm not sure I understand it. Certainly can't hurt anything and there will be jacks available, but I don't see why this would be a concern.
