Loosen the front diff mount. Get the subframe and rear diff on their respective mounts with the front mount loose and then tighten the front diff mount, raise the entire assembly and bolt it in.

Worst case seperate the 2. Put the diff in the car loosely on the rear mounts, then put the subframe in, and bolt them together via the front mount. Then raise the assembly into position and tighten.
