Personally I wud disregard the manual on this 1 .
Once had a Merc jacked on the diff , a cast iron cased 1 at that , this distorted the case and the diff began 2 whine within 500 miles , cure , new diff
The Evo has an alloy diff case and I am totally unconvinced that damage 2 the diff wud not occur if used as a jacking point.
I know the Merc was heavier , but the diff case was cast iron , it distorted all the same.
Use the towing eye or the flat section behind it , no chance of it ending in tears then
