I never liked the idea of lifting them by the diff. But I've been lifting them there for 35 years. Also the 1998 129 has an Iron diff. It's not the case I worry about but the shear on the rubber support bushings. This is especially true on the 107 model where the aft mount is in full shear. The 129's at least has two bushings captive in a blow proof fashion. Neither has ever given me a problem.
