Default Can I split a Lilac Bush into multiple plants?

I have two large (8' dia, 5' tall) lilac bushes that have flowered since
the year we put them in, they are larger than the area supports and
we've never pruned them.

I don't know if I can uproot them, split the root ball and then make two
(or more) viable plants out of them.

Any one do this or know if it will work without killing them?

Thanks.
