Oil pan!

[98chubby]

Can anyone tell me if i have to remove anything else besides the oil pan to remove the gasket? My truck is lifted so at least i don't have to jack it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i know when i had to drop my oil pan i had to remove front driveshaft and unbolt top diff bolt and passenger side axle bolts then rotate front axle forward out of the way...

Removal of Y-pipe and front driveshaft most likely needed.

It was a pain in the ass!!!!!! OMG!!!!! Sorry for yelling but damn I have a 3 inch body lift as well and i can only imagine how hard it is for people who don't have body lifts. All i had to do was move the oil filter and adapter also a bar that runs from the tranny to the body. But thanks guys for the info it was most appreciated. I'm still thinking about it........geezzzzus!
