I would just use my Sawzall to remove a couple of "rungs" from that ladder bar, pop the transmission out from below, then maybe use a dab of JB Weld to put the rungs back in. Or maybe just leave them out entirely. I kind of think the added "give" in the frame would just add to the overall driving enjoyment.
