In regards to replacing body mounts.....you are going to have to raise the body.
You wrote 'body mounts' which is different than body bushings....or gussets....so...I can only respond to what you wrote.
If you find away to do this without lifting the body......let us know due to I have been doing this for a long time and there is no other way I have found.
I responded to your other thread dealing with '#3'...but I do not use the numbering system for the body mounts as you seem to be using.
Body mount #1 is in front of the firewall. So it is #1 left and right
#2 body mount is in your hinge post area left ad right.
#3 body mount is in front of your rear tires left and right.
#4 body mount is behind your rear tires left and right.
