To Remove the Front Clip or Not To...

[Blue_Aura]

I have seen a lot of trucks with the front clip removed while working on the engine bay and/or suspension. I am about to swap my 350 for another one and was wondering if it would be easier to just remove the front clip to do it. While it's off, I can POR15 the front frame and suspension (since I will be POR'ing the frame under the bed before I redo the bed floor).

How much more work would it be to remove the front clip and then re-align it after the swap? Is it worth it? One thought I had was that I would minimize the risk of bunging up any of the body while doing the swap if I had the front off.

Opinions are not only appreciated, but expected (wow, that is a scary request! Lol).

Thanks ahead of time!
