Is it ok to place a jack under my rear differential and jack up the entire rear of my R51? Or is the rear diff fragile? Can I place the jack anywhere on the frame to jack up or is there jack points? I have a heavy duty 4 ton floor jack.

If you want to see where the jack points are, they are shown in your owners manual. In general, if you are using a floor jack, most places on the frame will work. If you decide to jack up under the diff, I would make sure you jack up on the cast iron part of it and not the aluminum cover. If you are using the factory scissor jack, I would stick to the factory jack points.
