Front cross member

[aermotor]

I want to remove the front cross member to sand blast and treat. Not frame off, engine in car, fenders off and radiator off. I have access to all the bolts and was thinking to support front of engine with a cherry picker by picking up a few timing gear cover bolts to remove the wishbone. What am I looking at with the frame spreading and issues with the spring to axel clamp bolts?
