Greetings old car guys, just curious.........what are the thoughts out there regarding lifting the rear of the vehicle with a hydraulic jack placed at the differential? I don't see a problem considering the rear end has much less weight. Also, since I am a newbie to the site, I wanted to thank all the members who have helped me with questions regarding my newly purchased 1940 Ford. So happy I got the opportunity to purchase a really nice stock Sedan Deluxe....so much fun to drive and it draws so much attention, especially from the old school dudes. Kenny C.
 
I always jack from the diff if I want both wheels up. The cup on my floor jack seems to be made for that. Never an issue after 55 years. Block those front wheels in both directions and use jack stands before you slide under.
 
From Model A newer it is safe to jack up under the differential. My Model T friends prefer not to do that.
