Yes, about 1/2" more clearance between body and crossmember is what you need. When I put the new one in, I tried different ways, angles and approaches for half an hour, until, suddenly, wow, this way it goes in very easily. Can't remember now which way it was, but -- Eureka!
As Bob says, jacking the body up a touch will give you a bit more clearance, I did mine that way a few years ago, it still takes some juggling but it does come out.
Good luck with it!
