I probably know the answer to this but want to run it past the group first. Can I jack up the rear end at the IRS center section? What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

If you do, keep the jack off the diff cover. I lifted the rear of my car by the '88 Thunderbird IRS differential at the junction of the diff cover, and wound up with a slow weep of diff fluid. It wasn't hard to remove the cover & reseal, but it vexed me greatly at the time.

Note: This may not apply to the 2015 IRS differential; I have no experience with it (never even seen that one in person).
