Zf5 install?

Trying to get the zf 5 installed after removing the t19 and upgrading to the 12 clutch. I don't seem to have enough room to get the zf high enough to get it towards the motor. It's hitting a lip on the floor of the truck. I have already removed the floor pan. Is there a trick to get this tranny in?

Can you jack up the front of the engine to tip the back of it down a bit? You'll likely have to remove the transmission cross member if it's not out to do this.
