Are you talking about replacing the woven looking plastic sheeting that sits on top of the frame rails and under the floor? Or are you talking about replacing the Coroplast (plastic cardboard) under the frame rails?
What are 2x4's are you talking about pieces of lumber, pieces of steel, or is the plastic in 2 x 4 foot sheets?
On a guess I'm assuming you are talking the woven plastic that is sitting on top of the frame rails. If that is so, the entire trailer is probably sitting on that plastic. You're going to have to find a way to unbolt the trailer from the frame and lift it enough to remove the plastic. You might be able to lift small sections and slide the plastic under but it will probably be near impossible to get it on smooth and unwrinkled.
You might consider just removing the plastic with a razor knife and doing the required repairs. Then have the underbody coated in spray foam by a contractor and skip replacing the plastic.
Good luck with the project, it doesn't sound like fun by any means.
