Default [LT4]Rear gear fluid check

If I wanted to check the oil level in the rear gears, do I have to drop the exhaust to get to the fill plug?? :confused:

Fill plug is located on the passenger side near the top of the rear end unit. No need to drop the exhaust. Should be full to the top of the hole. If you are unsure of the age of the fluid, I would recommend changing it. :steering:
