I'm in the process of removing the oil pan, or trying to at least. 2001 6.0 2500

I thought there was enough room to sneak it out but it's not, looks like I need to drop the front diff a small amount.
Looks like I need to loosen the two bolts on the drivers side and the 2 nuts on the passenger side and it should drop slightly ?
Will it be enough ?

Any tips would be highly appreciated, the top bolt on the drivers side looks like a bitch.

Thanks

When I've done mine I disconnected the axle shafts at the diff and it came right out after removing mount bolts.

Do you think I can get the pan out by just lowering the diff slightly and leaving the cvs attached ? Or is it necessary to completely remove and lower the diff ?

I have so much rust on this thing every thing I touch breaks, I'd rather not touch the cv if I don't need to

Idk. Never tried it. What do you need the pan off for?

Doing the gasket due to a bad leak, also doing a new oil pump and a cam.

Almost at the point where it looks easier to pull the motor lol
