Default jack up help

I just got and 87 vette about 6 months ago, well about 2 weeks ago when I changed the oil, I saw that my pipes where rusted to hell and back, so I got some new ones, just came in yesterday. the problem is how do you jack up the back end of the car, the front is no problem. thanks for any help.

Either get one of these to lift the rear by the differential in one motion, or jack up each side at a time.

If you don't have gadgetman jack adapter, then jack one side add jackstand, then the other side and add jackstand, then back and forth till you get her up... or.... get 2 jacks - jack them up and put a set of ramps under the rear wheels....
