03 ram 1500 5.7 hemi 4x4

can anyone one tell me what's the trick to dropping the trans past the rear torsion bar mount and the exhaust got it all ready to come out and its caged in. No way to remove exhaust without hacking it up. Do i need to split the transfer case from the trans? Have never split the two. Is it difficult to split? If the rear torsion bar was a half inch further back everything would drop right out. They have to do this on purpose.
