Any suggestions? Thanks.

...the only thing I do diff. is I jack at rear on the suspension link/A arm, using a piece of old, soft plywood for cushion on jack head instead of on the rear diff.
Definitely use qual. stands if you are sliding under...though, I've changed oil and filter several times with no jack, just a "slide in" and some contortions to catch the oil. Use Lots of newspaper spread wide on floor, a low profile 10 Qt pan and lots of paper towels. When you crack that drain plug it comes out like a freaking fire hydrant and at an angle, lol!
