So long as your Ebrakes work real good :) I would leave the rear of the car on the ground, blocked by a couple of 2X4s.

You will not gain any more room by doing that. The jack stands will give you all of the room you need. Just make sure the stands are secure. You will need the floor jack to raise the axle at times to relieve pressure on some parts you are replacing.

Do NOT, ever, use the jack in the trunk. That is for emergency use only, not for working on the car. It is flimsy at best, and OK for what it was designed to do - light weight and a tire change.
