tending to my frame's rotted sections
i have to replace the rotted sections on my frame, right in front of both rear wheels, commonly referred to as the "achilles heel." i dont want the hassle of completely lifting the body off... is it possible to unbolt the body and only lift the back a few inches to cut and weld? i already have the 23" frame sections and cross member, and a pro welder buddy of mine is gonna do the welding. it also came with sleeves to go over the welds, and we are securing everything in place to ensure a totally straight frame.

Not sure how bad the rot is on your frame, but this may give you an idea.
