Default Jack up question

On my 85 I have the front setting on stands while I repalce the clutch salve parts.

Can I or is it possible to jack up the rear in one spot and if so whrre wouldl that spot be? I want to get the car level for tranny fluid and rear fluid inspection. I guess I could borrow another jack and try to raise both sides simultaneously. :crazy:

NEVERMIND, I SEARCHED THE ARCHIVES AND FOUND WHERE YOU CAN USE THE REAR CROSSMEMBER

If you still have your spare tire installed, take a 2x4 that is a little longer then the width of the spare tire compartment... put it across where the spare is, and jack it up in the middle of that board. But be sure to use jack stands to keep it up.. dont go crawling under there with just the jack..
