I don’t pull them in that far but I use a big ratchet strap & go all the way around the trunk

It’s a mix of jigs, chain come-alongs, hydraulics (port-a-power, frame rack hydraulics, things of that nature), and hammer work. Depending on who you are and what the car is things vary. Crease first, then pull/push in

So what is the difference between this and a “wedge”?

That’s just low bumper height and creased quarters. Wedges are low yes but quarters are designed get under and pop up. A wedge is when the sheetmetal starts at the same height of the rear bumper and provides an upward lift

So how does this build style fair on unibody cars compared to a full frame?

If your thinking of of trying on a mopar...better have a heathy GTP tied into rear uni body rails flat stack of leafs window bar tied to halo front window bar tied to dash bar and door bars tied to rockers
