I just did mine last month and had the same problem. I had to to remove the two trans mounting bolt on the cross member, that will give the 1/4 you need.

It takes some grunt work. I used a 36 inch pry bar an a friend to keep an eye on things i couldnt see.

Stock style isnt too bad, but when i switched to browndogs, they were so snug, it became quite the one man balancing act/ instances i was wishing for a tail.

I would loosen as many mounts and cross braces as you can. I don't think you want to have any pre-loaded force on your engine mount as when it starts moving from driving something might snap.
Also on my TJ I moved the floor jack a lil as to take off any preload.

I was installing the brown dogs and followed their instructions so the trans mount bolts were taken off. I ended up just moving the floor jack around until I could get the mount to plop in. It took a little time but once the "sweet spot" is found its a breeze.
