Default NEED HELP WITH SUBFRAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So as Im waiting on my downpipe from 42, i needed to remove my car from its location. The removal of the DP was easy, what they didnt mention was the installation of the subframe. I have all of the rear subframe bolts on except the front two. What happens is everytime I jack it up the frame pushes foward. When this happens the hole setting dont align. Any suggestions????????? Ive tried for a couple of hours and nothing yet. Im on 2 jack stands now, not a lift. Thanks

Well, im kinda a noob, but, it would make sense if you put in one of the bolts in the back and one in the front so they stayed lined up as apposed to two in the back then front... but who am i kidding i know about as much as a couple rocks...

Well it took me an hour just to get 1 bolt on the rear. I tried every other bolt and the only one that worked were the 2 rears. The dog bone is connected though. so its just the front 2 that are loose. Its harder then it sounds.....
