Some of these photos make me curious, if it's possible to separate the unibody from the engine and suspension with a 2 post lift, leaving the engine in place. Has anyone heard of this being done? Or would it require cutting up the frame somewhere?

Upper shock mount part of the frame or cradle?
Looks like the upper mount is part of the cradle in the photo |

Take another look at the photo of the "cradle"
They cut a section of the frame out. The _actual_ engine cradle can drop out, but not with the upper suspension assembled. |
