You will never get the subframe low enough to get the front bushings in. They go in from the top. It might work on the rears, but no way on the fronts. And you run the risk of putting a lot of stress on the lines if you leave them connected. I just used two line clamps on the rubber, and a zip lock baggie over them to not make a mess. It's only a minute or two to disconnect them. That's really the only way, IMHO.

Take a look at the last picture with the hoseclamp. That's the passenger side. That gives you an idea of how far it needs to drop.
