Jacking up my Senior Eight

Hi,
I need to get my car up onto stands and would like to use the rear axle to put the stands under. When I put the stands under the frame my wheels drop back to the ground. Can I use the 3rd member to jack up the rear axle, I ask because it will mean I am really using the differential cover as the jacking point and that seems like a bad idea. My other option will be use the frame to put the stands under then jack up the rear end not under load and use smaller stands to keep the wheels off the ground while having the stands under the frame carrying the bulk of the weight. I am going to be doing my brakes.
