Those are my pics.

Also, OP, check out my video here at the 1:50 mark for jacking up the whole rear.

If you don't want to use the diff it's self then you can use the mount.

I have a scissor lift and was wondering if I could use the uni-body area to place my lift pads of the lift to support the camaro?

This is my lift with my truck on it.

WOW, that just doesn't look very safe.
I'm sure it is, but I would shure be nervous working on that truck.

No issues at all. It is sold up there. I don't really work on it that high, just put it there to show others how high the lift can go. I like it to rotate the tires and do to any kind of brake work as well as suspension work. I was just wondering where would be other lift points on the camaro other than the ones just below the side rocker panel.

I used to do this, but avoid lifting by the diff completely now. That single rear diff bushing takes a beating on high HP builds. Totally blew out both the Pfadt and HD Pedders bushings, now on Delrin Pedders and that mount bolt has to be kept extremely tight to keep from moving up/down. Even with an oversized 12.9 bolt I thought was tight, I had movement that sounded like CVs going bad, but the washer slide pattern showed it only moved about 1/8th inch. 80 ft lbs tightening, paint marker to verify no movement, and it's all good again for now.

Doesn't it lift on the mount without touching the diff in any way? With a block of wood? I can't remember. I'll certainly make sure to keep an eye on mine.

Do you jack up the front or rear first?
