I'm planning on bleeding my brakes and changing the diff fluid. My work space is severely limited. I would prefer to jack up the car on the frame rails
but I don't have room. Is jacking up the car under the diff or traverse spring a no-no?

When jacking up by the rear spring perch make sure you use a block of wood to help clear the spare tire tub Place the jack stand on the ends of the strut rods on the shock bracket
I have very limited work space in my garage and jacking up my car was usually more work and time consuming than I cared to do.
I fought hard against buying a set of Quick Jacks but finally decided that it was time.
I’ve had the system for about a year and now it’s so easy to lift my car.
The lifts stores under my car when not in use and I just slide the lifts into position, attach the quick connect hydraulic lines, hit the switch and safely lift my car.
I was actually able to lift it high enough that I was able to pressure wash the under side with no problems.
Here is a picture on mine up on the Quick Jacks and this is in the lowest position.
I have jacked up R66 via the differential. As mentioned, use a block to get clearance to the tire carrier - about 1-1/2" I think. I also jacked up the front end by the crossmember, put a 2x6 to span the full width. Jack stands under the frame are a must.
