Or would you have to remove the passenger side subframe bushing bolts as well to do the drivers side?
yes, you need to at a minimum loosen the passenger side subframe bolts (I removed them). I dont know. You might/could bend the passenger side bolts by leaving them in, I would just pull them out with the subframe supported by a floor jack in the middle of the diff.

you'll see when you get in there. there is limited movement on the drivers side due to the brake lines, and lot of room on the passenger side. I did the drivers side first, all slow and careful, then the passenger side was done quick.

This mod is worth the work! I love the handling now.
