1999 2.5l removal & replace

[flouese]

Two point 5 questions:

1. I've seen a lot of different numbers but what is the actual height off the ground do I have to get the car to drop and ultimately replace my 2.5L motor?

2. Can the IMS be removed and replaced for inspection? (a) I want to see if the one installed on the engine 10K miles ago is good and (b) if the one in the engine I am replacing it with is good. If I can remove and reinstall it, what would I look for?

2.5 Does anyone have an IMS tool they are willing to loan (ship) so I can do the above process?

Thanks
