Sorry, I think I'm thinking about the panhard rod, where it bolts to the diff housing on the driver's side??

And I guess both spring perches are behind the centerline of the axles, right?

(sorry ... ~1am, brain sleepy ... photographic memory blurry!

)

... I know there's gotta be something behind the centerline of the axles to jack up on to put weight on and it should "roll" or "tip" the diff back forward?

I do believe you are correct, sir.
