I know space might be tight but I'm more concerned if the trailing arm is vital to the vehicle not falling on my head hahah! Thanks again for the write up!
I do not think the trailing arm is holding up anything, it looks more like it is to prevent forward/rearward caster changes for the wheel. To confirm, I did my second one with the car on ramps and nothing moved when I took off the arm.

I suppose it is possible though... You could set a jackstand or jack in a backup position just in case.
