I did mine with the hood off before I had a lift. All you do is get two 1/2" or 3/8" I bolts and hook them in the mounts for the upper shock on the shock tower. I hoisted mine up from the rafters in the shop.

I was trying to follow you but then it hit me, you lifted the body by using the top shock mount holes. That could be done with the bumper on. My only concern would be tweaking the inner fenders especially if fully assembled with all the weight, not sure if fenders off would be better or worse, definitely less weight but the fenders might add some riggity to the inner fenders. Very interesting thought though.
