No silly sam, jack the car up by the differential and put the bottle jacks under the subframe bushings. There's a little hook that I rest the jack heads on. Leave the floor jack under the differential as a back up.
You should have more than enough clearance to work on the rear breaks. If you don't then you're doing it wrong
Edit: Oh geeze I didn't see that it was the '87. I thought it was the w123. I want to guess that you can still jack the car up my the differential but i am just not familiar with your vehicle.
