whats the proper procedure for dropping the front end of the subframe a few inches to replace the diff mount? where should the jackstands go?

ok. with the two forward bolts out do I need to have a jack under the subframe at all times or can the rear ones support it.

is there anything else that needs to be removed to drop it a bit?
