thoughts would be great! thanks guys.

Most pro shops drop the subframe. I did that once with a lot of help, it's a ton of work. If I had to do it again, I'd take the whole thing out the top, but there's more steps involved. If you drop the subframe, you must get the front end aligned after, and it's hard to get the steering wheel lined up when reinstalling.
