diff installation

I've been tring to put my TII rear end in my vert for the last hour now. I tried putting the front mount in first then the back, but they just won't line up together. Then I tried putting the rear ones first then tring the front, but it about 1inch off. How do you have to mount it in there? I am using a TII mounts aswell, I hope I don't need to use my vert one.

How do you have your subframe dropped? Just by the front of it (the 14mm nut & the 21mm, and then just forcing the front of it to flex down?) Usually what I do is stick the front in first, get the two mount bolts into their holder, and then slide the metal plate back into place and tighten the bolts down enough were the metal plate can't come back out, then between jacking the subframe back up and manuevering the diff with what slack it still has I work the rear mounts into place, bolt them up loosely, go tighten my front bolts, then go back and tighten my rears, and then put the subframe back into position.

The mounts are the same for the Turbo and Convertible (and non turbos for that matter). You just need to lower the subframe a little to get the whole thing in there.

I just undid the drivers side subframe nut. I'll try jacking up the crossmember with the diff, thanks guys.
