I helped a friend replace a TR4 body.  He put eyebolts through
the body mount locations at the front/rear door openings.  He ran
a length of chain across the door areas and used a 5' length of
pipe (2" galvanized) between the two chains.  He raised/lowered
the body with an engine hoist connected to the center of the
bar.  This made it very easy.  You will need to use a floor jack
and some blocks of wood for the first/last couple inches to
install/remove the eyebolts.  No strength needed and chance of
anyone hurting their backs.
