[B]Help with new exhaust system[B]

So I've recently just purchases a new exhaust system from dynomax. It's exactly like the stock exhaust system where the pipe from the cat to the muffler goes up and over the rear axle. I cut out the old stock exhaust system so I didn't have to pull it out, the only problem is I have no idea how to put the new pipe in. There are two ways that I've thought up how I could possibly go about this. One, I could jack the body higher and try to wiggle it in or two, unbolt the sway bars in the back so I have the room to put the new pipe in. I'm looking for input on what I should/can do I doubt unbolting the sway bars is a good idea but if it won't screw anything up I'll do it. Please help, any advice is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

No prob w unbolting the sway bar. (there's only one) But it won't help. It's not holding the rear end up. (might give you some extra clearance in other directions though)

Even eeeeeeezier though, is to unbolt the shocks, and let the rear hang down. I'd STRONGLY recommend unbolting the junction block thing at the end of the rubber brake hose from the rear end, so you don't rip the brake hose in half unexpectedly though.
