Can I get/set the playtime/progress of a state in the Animator Component?

I'm using 4.3 to do 2D animation. Due to Animation's affecting the axis of the object with the Animator Component, I have had to give my character 2x Animator Controllers (one for torso and one for legs).

It works great but due to variations in Animator State setups I have legs and a torso doing running animation but they become out of sync due to 2 Animator components.

The frame length of the animations is identical and they match however when the torso is made to do other animations and then return to the running/walking animation, sometimes this becomes out of sync and it makes the character look strange.

Is there a way I can set the torso's animator component's play time to equal the same play time as the leg's animator component?

 

If anyone knows the answer I would appreciate it.
In the meantime I'm using 2DTK to do this with no problems.

Nice if I could do this with Unity's Mecanim States for 2D.
