Yep, that was the problem I had too. Replaced the $40 Torin Special with an Arcan xl35 and it's not an issue any more.
As for the both LCAs at a time part, I followed CHE's instructions on it when I did the install two years ago and they explicitly said the suspension couldn't be loaded. Who was I to argue at the time?

I think the key takeaway is, whatever your stance is on how safe it is, you should definitely NOT lift your car by the diff if you have a ****-ant little jack.

That's interesting about the LCA's. My instructions (BMRs) didn't say you had to load the suspension when you were putting them in, only when it comes to tightening them down:

NOTE: This step is required to properly load the bushings before tightening the mounting bolts. NOTE: tightening the control arm bolts with the rear end hanging results in bushing preload and can cause irregular ride height and premature bushing wear
