Here is my suggestion-
1. Tell wife to stay out of garage for 2 days and not ask any questions
2. Drink two beers
3. Remove the body mount Bolts and lift the body off the frame using jack a length of 2"X4". Keeps the cabin from getting dented
4. Support body off of frame--This is easier than you think--it just like putting in a Body Lift
4a. At this point you deserve a break--two more beers
5. Drop tranny and start cussing
6. Remove crosspipe and do what you gotta do.
7. Put it all back together making sure the everything is perfect--or you wil have to start over.
8. 12 pack of beer and then let the wife rub your feet for a change or do whatever floats your boat
Done

Well, it turns out it wasn't so hard after all to get the pipe out. Here's what I did:
1) Remove the CAT pipe.
2) Remove the upper intake manifold. This give you a little more room to reach behind the engine.
3) Remove the exhaust manifolds.
4) Remove the bolts from the rear tranny mount and jack UP the rear of the transfer case. I jacked it up to the point I think I dented my floorpan a little.
5) After you've got all that out of the way you can roll the crossover pipe over the tranny bell housing and out the bottom of the truck, on the pass side. NO CUTTING REQUIRED.
It turned out to be pretty painless and I only needed one beer. It probably took me maybe 2 1/2 hours from start till I got the pipe out.
