It's pretty easy to do, disconnect the driveshafts, pull the vacuum line fitting on the top and breather tube, and take the 6 mounting nuts off and it should slide right off.

T-case isn't even too heavy. I didn't even lift my truck (stock height), nor used any jacks when I wrestled the t-case off from the truck and back. Two separate occcasions.

Yes the 231 and 241 can be done by hand, but the 271 is more of a challenge, I use a transmission jack on those.

Our trucks never came with the 271 to my knowledge

Not the 2nd gens, it comes in the 03+ HD Rams and the 99+ Superdutys.
