removing 10-bolt I'm gonna pull out my 10-bolt tomorrow night, are there any quick tips or tricks I need to worry about? I guess the only thing I'm concerned about is not messing up the brake lines, ie. getting them out of the way to drop the rear-end.

It's easy... I removed my 10-bolt in about an hour by myself.
2 LCA bolts
2 torque arm bolts
2 shock bolts
4 caliper bolts
2 sway bar bolts (I leave it attached then remove the whole thing later)
Pop off ebrake lines
Leave a jack under the diff and when done just lower it and pull out from under the car. Unless you have a small jack, then it might be hard to balance.

Lots of torque is the easiest way to remove it.

Actually just pulling it out to replace the 2.73's with 3.73's. But also replacing getting some LCA's, LCA relocation brackets and a new PHB. Figured I'd just pull the whole thing out to make the gear swap easier since I don't have access to a lift.
