You need to get Jackstands under the Jack points on the car so the rear axle can 'dangle'. The front can stay on the ground.
With a floor jack, I jack up the rear of the car from the center of the differential, put jackstands under the Jack Points located on the side of the car. then let the axle down until it almost hangs. Then I disconnect one Trailing Arm, do the TAB and reassemble, then move onto the other side.
A floor Jack is absolutely your friend
