It depends on what you're doing. If the weight of the vehicle is on the springs, such as it will be with the jack stands under the axles, don't unbolt anything that carries spring loads. For instance, releasing the torque tube with weight on the rear axle housing will slam the ball end toward the floor. If you're under it, bad news! Sometimes it's better to support the frame, and let the suspension hang down with the springs unloaded.
