Yeah, I usually have the jack handle at the back of the car. When I do it, I put the jack saddle right under the flange, where the cover bolts onto the diff. I have never had any problems with bending it, it is thick.

When you are reinstalling the parts, you want to have the suspension compressed when you do the final torque-down of the nuts. If you can fit under the car with it on the ground, then go ahead and do that, but it is easier if you lower the rear tires onto your ramps, and then torque away.

Have you considered using the polyurethane torque rod bushings? They will last much longer and are much easier to install.
