Question about a 2005 Dodge Dakota, 4WD?

I have a four wheel drive 2005 Dodge Dakota. Is it possible to get the oil pan off the thing without removing the front axle? The manuals haven't been much help as they group this vehicle with others and give a generic answer. Can I lift the engine up enough off its mounts to get that oil pan off?

    The easiest way is to drop the front differential . The other way you have to remove the transmission and t-case and still pull the engine up . The front diff. drops out fairly easy .

    If you can lift the engine high enough, you may as well take it out. It's 50/50. If you take out the axle, you have the steering gear as well as suspension components with it. Why do you need to pull the oil pan? Did you crush it?
