I need a definitive answer before I ruin my mounts, thanks for your help!

Lots do it - I don't. I don't have a great deal of faith in four small motor-mount bolts lifting the whole rear-end's weight.

The mounts fail for other reasons too. When they do fail while jacking her up, they were probably about to fail anyway.

I'll continue to do it. It's not like they are that expensive to replace with 993 pieces.
