Default Body Lifting?

How would you lift the body enough to replace the mounts? what is the easiest way to go about doing this?

Ive never done this but it seems like you could unbolt all of the mounts and use a 2x4 to jack the body up just enough to slide the new mounts in.

thats an idea, Seems possible, Now how about front end adjustment. Does the body move much between the front end "firewall forward" and the back end? I have that "what looks to be common wheel well alignment issue where one tire sticks out more than the other.
