Default Exhaust removal difficulty?

I know on some trucks its a pain to get the exhaust over the rear axle when trying to remove it.
I want to unbolt my catback (in my apt parking lot), and i dont have access to a jack or a lift. Can it be done w/ out unloading the suspension?

1997 F150 5.4L.
Thanks

I'm sure you could, but you might have to get creative with a sawzall. If you just want to remove it, an exhaust shop probably wont charge you much to yard it out of there.

yea I have done all my exhaust work in my school parking lot or in my drive way without jacks. And yes I have had some serious difficultly trying to remove my exhaust. When I was trying to remove the stock muffler it would not budge so I decided to unclamp everything tie the muffler to a tree and drive off. Yea they can be a pain. After that I found out my roomate had a sawzall and I got it off in 2 mins. Use a sawzall they are awesome
