Simply jack the chassis so the axle drops, then you'll have plenty of room

I've got a diff cover ready to go on and had the same problem - like Urban Panzer said, if you jack the chassis (if you have a tow bar, use this to jack on) and the body will lift and the axel will drop. I still haven't fitted mine though as I got it jammed between the diff and fuel tank whilke trying to fit it, got annoyed and took it off again. That was 2 weeks ago and I still haven't revisited it!

Alternatively don't bother fitting the diff guards cos they collect mud behind em and then rust rots through the diff.

Yep. Unfortunately most peeps think they are just fit and forget.
