Remove Rear Suspension

I have to service and replace almost every part of my rear suspension, replace seals and possibly bearings, all the bushings, new springs and struts. I am thinking it might be worth the effort to unbolt it and drop it out, do all the work out of the car. Has anyone removed everything in one piece ? Any helpful hints or ideas. I have been trying to do things in a 3 day cycle so I don't tie up the garage, a neighbor has offered to let me use his shop, so I can do some more involved projects like the suspension and engine removal / overhaul and ditto on the trans and clutch.

Dropping the whole rear end is the way to go...
