Like it says in the title is it possible and what complications would I run into. I'm looking into the UPR front end kit right now and i just wanted to know if i have to pull the motor or not. also if anyone has any info on the install or the UPR kit please share.

No you dont have to pull the motor.
I hooked the cherry picker up and just lifted the motor up a couple inches when i did mine

I know a few guys on here just hooked chains to their strut tower and let that hold the motors weight.

The install is pretty striaght forward..the rack has to come off, tires/brakes, and then theirs 4 bolts on each side that hold her in.
Hope this helps some.

I dunoo that might be possible, but very very dangerous. The kmember is the only thing that supports your motor, when u drop that out I wouldnt want just a jack on my oil pan (prob denting it up) holding my motor.
Also the motor may need to be moved/shifted to get the new kmember in
Do it from the top..you need all the workspace you can get to make things easier.
You'll thank me later
 
Stock control arms fit on the QA1 k member with some grinding.
