Well thats what I've done since I've had 123s also, but I've heard roomers
that its a no no. It is easy to do, for sure. There is a discussion over on
the web forum and some, what Ive considered, pretty knowledgeable folks
saying its not a good idea. Just wondering if anyone around here would
comment. It just seems like such a pain to lift the rear any other
way. Were talking W123s here.

It may not be the preferred point of lift, but that's what I've been
doing for years. It's convenient cuz it's centrally located, and only
requires you to jack once going up, and once going down. I don't even
use the wood block, since Harbor Freight has a nifty little
rubber-faced jack pad, which helps to avoid marring any sensitive
jack-point surfaces.
