Sure you can use the differential. There's no reason why you couldn't. Jack it up and put jackstands on both ends of the axle like just on the insides of the shock brackets with the axle housing sitting on the stands. Always use jackstands though. I've had a vehicle fall off before. Luckily I wasn't underneath it. I usually use jackstands but that one time I didn't. Now I always do period.
