Your stock jack and one jack stand will work. Jack one side of axle, put on stand, move to other and jack it up. You dont crank the engine or anything, just put it in neutral and and jack it up. Hell , u can do it in a parking lot, just get the tire an inch off the ground. Dealer with vin would know what it came with provided the original owner didnt change anything.

gaskets
Man I could not get the fill plug to budge and don't want to remove the Diff cover until I am sure I can get oil back in..Also..BIG "notice" there is a rubber gaket material popping out from the top of the cover. I don't do any water cross wheeling and have only winter driving to worry about so was just going to use a tube of Diff cover seal. Will this be enough or should I get a ruber gasket. The Napa guy told me there is no dealer gasket to just seal it with my tube?

Diffs
Just a heads up for others not in the know on limited slip...Valvoline gear oil for the Jk 80w-90 says right on the back of the bottle in my hand that it is ok for all Hyphoid Limited slip Diffs...looks like I am ok no matter what. Now to find out what size diffs I have.
