Just bought a 97 LC and looking for advice on taking the body off so that I can blast and paint the frame. How difficult is this? Any videos out there?

If someone was to lift the body to change out the 10 bushings, how high could you go before getting into trouble? A few extra inches could help get a wire wheel brush or scrapers to clean up rusty areas and paint.
Yes, you can R & R the bushings without removing the body. The bolts come out without removing the bushings and they should slide out afterwards.^ this, like if we didnt want to break all of the fittings; is it possible to slip in and do the 10 mounts? not sure i can do this on the driveway but it would be nice if we could tackle this and pop these 30 year old "rocks" off for new bushings
Not easily. It's a pretty tight fit around the tranny and T-case. Lifting the body would certainly make it easier, if you completely lift it off, more than just a few inches.Is it possible to blast/wirewheel and paint around the drivetrain without removing it completely?
