The only thing I can think of is to pull out the 2x4's currently holding the weight and let it drop to the bump stops (gotta make those too), then cut away what ever is in the space the driveshaft needs to occupy with my trusty plasma cutter. After the driveshaft has about 1/2" clearance at full drop, start the restructuring of the crossmember and the cab sheet metal, if I have to open it up and build a tunnel.
