For some years of the Ford chassis, it's more than a good idea; it's pretty much mandatory. Specifically, some (older) chassis have a driveshaft mounted parking/emergency brake, rather than applying wheel brakes. With such a chassis, once one rear wheel is raised off the ground, there is no parking brake effectiveness at all; the non-raised wheel can turn one way while the raised one turns the opposite direction, due to the differential, without the driveshaft turning.
