The engine oil & the angle drive are easily done with the SS on the ground. Don't forget to lube your U-joint while you're at it (can be done on ground via cupholders - you'll need a needle adapter on your grease gun like the Lincoln G901). For the tranny & the angle drive - for refill, this is your best friend...
Once it's up I was just going to jack the rear. Is this way OK and should it give me enough clearance to get to everything I will need?
Don't trust a jack only on the rear. block it up as well IMHO
Here's a video by @slingking on greasing the u-joint...
The needle nozzle is needed to get the grease in - there's not enough clearance to get a regular grease gun fitting over the grease zirc.
Lincoln G901 (or similar), available at any auto parts store...
Summit Racing is right down the street from me. Would any of these work?

Yeah that is the one I was looking at but it is special order. Will any of the in stock ones work? Thank you for the help sir.
The fourth one in on this kit is the one I use . It has a concave end and fits over the zert well.
Also special order and not in stock. 
Well of course

I got my grease gun adapter at the local Napa store... granted I paid more, but I had it in my hot little paws immediately.... (It was about $12-13.)
So I tackled everything but tranny flush tonight.
All went well but I am a bit nervous about how the angle drive magnetic plug looked. It was caked in crud and my ss only has 250 miles on it. The fluid also came out milky like what oil looks like when water gets in it. Is this normal???
Its normal ..there is a generous dose of Molybdenum disulfide in the factory fill that looks like black mud and smells fishy ....
.
yep mine looked like that changed it out at 250 ran royal purple for another 250 and changed oy again. Second time was much cleaner.

Did you find an available tapered needle adapter yet?

Exact same thing here .

Yes I did. I had to buy a kit of adapters that had one in it. I'm not opposed to having more tools in the arsenal so it was a good buy.
Glad you were able to do your own maintenance @cmykpro!! Now that you have all the tools you need, it'll be a snap from now on. There really isn't anything about normal maintenance on these Slings that's too hard to do. The biggest thing is safety!!! If you don't block those wheels, use jack stands if possible, and have the E-brake engaged.....it can get ugly real fast!!!
