Although the idea of moving the body on the frame seems like a reasonable suggestion and I like the spirit of it, the reality of attempting such a task might result in upsetting the panel gaps between the doors and the fenders, hood, etc. If we were talking about an unassembled car without the front clip, I'd say yeah go for it, but on a fully assembled car I'd be more hesitant. I did this on my car when I dropped the body back onto the frame, but it was a 100% bare shell with no interior, glass, etc. to weigh it down and make it harder to pull. Critically, I didn't have the doors, fenders, or hood installed yet, either.
