Yea, take your time with finding a frame puller, those guys get paid the big bucks in that industry because they know what they are doing. They have multiple tie downs and precise hydraulics to get it right the first time, every time.

Just be careful that for all of the force you put on the part you want to move, an equal force is being applied to the part you are using to hold it back, you could end up pulling both parts by an equal amount. Damn Newton and his 3rd law of physics.

Right, the immobilized section won’t move but the rest can move/pivot around that section with enough force appliedI'm not following, if you immobilize something then it shouldn't move.
Using a tree and another truck in 4Lo could quickly go bad...

If it was just a Plow Truck I wouldnt have any issue with a backyard DIY fix (I've done substantial frame work on mine using a bottle jack and a stick welder). But you are planning on having it be a family cruiser and general work truck as well.
This is a propper DIY setup just making a banana'ed rail straight again. Not complex bends around critical suspension components like yours.

I understand what you are trying to acheive and my best suggestion is to have multiple hold down points versus a single pulling point. The 2 opposing forces will still be equal but the tie down side will have that force divided across multiple points. The downside is finding suitable tie down points in your garage. Go slowly and keep measuring and you should make some progress.I'm not going from zero to full send, nor an I anticipating one hit will get it done. I'm leaning toward hydraulics to move it more slowly. I found all the frame locations in an upfitter's guide on here.
What was the frame tied to here? I'm wondering if I can't put some anchors and d-rings in my garage floor. I'd probably need some math there, i.e. how many psi is my floor and how much force could it hold pulling like that?
