There are stands under the rear axle and they are fully extended so did not want to have them as only support with stands under the front to get the truck high enough to work on lower panels so I added the rear blocks with smaller stands as extra , I laid block on the side so the stands feet could sit even , but wood would have helped that.

That's the way to do it taking it all the way down to the bare bones. And that Image in your head is all that matters, have fun with it good luck.
