To pull the body or not?

[D-n-Tyke]

So the picture below is the current state of our build. Have the front clip off and the frame from the trans crossmember forward stripped. Getting all the suspension components blasted and ready for paint. My original plan was to sandblast from about the firewall forward and paint it. But now I am wondering if I should pull the body and do the whole frame. This ofcourse was supposed to be a "budget" build and I am trying to keep build creep to a minimum. However, I also don't want to cause myself more work later, or worse have to redo work later. I am already planning on replacing all the body mounts so will already be touching those. Need some advice here, pull it or leave it on the body and work around it.

For those that have pulled their body off the frame how difficult was it. I don't have a lift or anything like that so it would mostlikely be 4x4's under the bidy on jack stands. Any advice on how you did it without a lift.
