This is the jack I bought:

So what are my options?

If you're going to use that jack to service the differential, you're in for a shock. To lift it, you'll cover up the drain plug. If you're using the rear differential to lift the rear end ... that's kind of dangerous. Like it was mentioned before, use the jack points in front of the rear wheel openings. Indicated by the slotted points.
