Thanks for this Parker! Helped tremendously. Preformed this operation last night on my 06' and it worked wonders.
Great time to change your oil and filter as well! 
Thanks again.

So you can do this job without supporting the whole bike? I've always figured that if you have the bike on a rear stand, and remove the shock, that the tail and swingarm will compress, as there is no shock to keep the distance. Am I wrong on that?

No, you're right. Just get the jack out of your car's trunk, put a small piece of plywood between the jack and the bike and presto! I recommend putting the bike on front and rear stands, then using the jack. Leave the stands in place for stability. You will see the stands become "un-loaded" as you jack it up.
As you are un-bolting your old suspension, and putting the new one in, use the jack to make slight changes in order get your holes to line up. At no point in this entire process should you have to use any force to pull a bold or put one in....

Using this thread as a guide(Thanks OP),I made a few changes to holding the bike up.
Here is what I did to get my shock out,not saying which method is right or wrong just another option.
Picked up a piece of 3/8 rod at Lowes and ran it through the swingarm pivot hole,jack stands and some wood under the tire to keep it in place and a front stand.
I hope installing the new one is just as easy.
Shameless shot of the new exhaust test fitting which I am installing as well.
