Also, I plan on putting the front tires on ramps, then jack stands in the rear. Can I use a floor jack under the rear end housing (like the older cars)to get the rear high enough for the stands?
Thanks,

Yes, you can use a floor jack under the rear end, and then put jack stands under the axle. Just make sure that it is not touching the diff cover when you jack it up, otherwise it will dent the cover and you will have to buy a new one.
