The springs are bolted to the A frame to transfer the weight of the load to the suspension.The suspension 'triangles' (radius rods and axle form a triangle)oscillate on a trunnion in the rear and a ball joint on the front...both points are anchored to the 'spine',which also holds the suspension in alignment..the frame ladder is a means to secure the carried load and body mounting and provide a point of attachment of the spine.

My car is altered and thus so, incorrect, and I will probably die.
That said, you still haven't answered the op's question. How would YOU lift a Model A with a 2-post lift? How would you remove the front or rear suspension without that lighweight frame crumbling from all that weight?
