i would just remove it while on the ground, that is how i have always removed mine, you just need a big @$$ cheater bar

just make sure that when you put the new one back in the truck is sitting level

I replaced mine on my '00 SD while it was on the ground. Like Jeff said, use a big cheater bar. I used my handle off my floor jack.
