Thing is, all I'm trying to do is remove the factory rear bumper. Sounds easy right? Two people, five hours, and three bolts. Would like to meet whoever reinstalled this rear bumper

My bumper has never been off and I can get it off. Had to do my hitch with it on.

The Dana 30 is a great axle and definitely worth upgrading. I've seen dana 30's handle 37's with a super 30 kit. The are also pretty cheap to upgrade. You could probably fully build a 30 for under 2k and maybe just a bit over with 30spline rcv's. If you plan to run over 33's I wouldn't bother with the 35.

Got one sitting right here for you Alex, you can drop it in and go until you decide to regear. It's got a powertrax locker in it. 8.25 out of a 2000 with 120K miles on it
