You are not the only one who went through this. At least the part of it coming off the rear jackstands so easily. Mine did too. I kept backing the jack under the cradle down to keep the car on the stands. I can't really help you out, as I was only doing the BMR support and kept two bolts in at all times. Even that was a bugger getting a 4th bolt in each time made it lift the car off the stands. Took a ratchet strap to get the 4th bolt in each time and it was almost iffy as it wanted to strip the bolts. All I can say is take a deep breath, and put some muscle or a ratchet strap, if you can start getting one side of bolts in. I worked on left/right, not front/back. Cross my fingers for you. It's like if I lifted by the pumpkin it wouldn't do it without lifting the vehicle, but when I put a bottle jack under the center of the right or left cross member it would let me get the bolts in better. Good luck.
I've only done this once, hopefully someone or one of the vendors can pop in and share any insight.
