The only thing I would do different on the ground would be to remove the transfercase. On a lift I remove them together and even leave the drive shafts connected to the transfercase. The trans jack I use is very strong and stable. On the ground you've got a lot less space to work with.
I ordered my new luk clutch yesterday. Has anyone replaced one in the garage, with no lift?????

I've done it on the ground with an old style transmission jack. My method differed from Kevin's in that I left the transfer case on and disconnected the driveline. My driveline may be different than the smaller trucks, the flange is flat and easily removed via 4 large bolts and it falls off. Way easier than separating the transfer case. I recommend raising the rear end as far as you can. The extra room will allow you to get the transmission out from under the truck if you want.
One thing - a transmission jack is a requirement for this job unless you are a candidate for the Worlds Strongest Man competition. They are WAY too heavy to handle alone.

A smal roll around tranny jack is worth it's weight in gold. It's a pretty easy one man job if you have one. The output flange is the same for all of us....the 4x4's anyways. Never paid any attention on the 4x2.
Here's a cheap little jack that works great, I've used mine on 2 ZF's, an E4OD, and 4L60E tranny in a suburban.
