No, that would just be adding more work.
Everything can be done from under the truck.

You dont need to pull the bed that would be a waste of time.

yeah it may be more work... i remember changing my diff gasket and it was so easy to just sit on the crossmember and change it rather than lay underneath.. but i guess with high enough jack stands you could sit underneath and be about the same..

i didnt take the bed off to change the diff gasket, it just so happens i did it while i had the bed off after my wreck.. i probably wouldnt take it off either...
