Default Subframe Bushings

Went out to do what I thought would be a fairly quick and easy job and ran into a problem. The subframe and body have shifted and there is about a 1/2" misalignment. The Subframe has moved forward relative to the body.

Don't really know how or why that happened. Here's my setup, the car is on four jack stands. Two on the front sway bar and two under the rear axle tubes. Could it be because the weight of the front is too far forward, maybe should have had the weight on the wheels?

Anyway, I'm obviously open to any advice, but I think if I use a come a long and attach at the rear end and maybe the lower control arm, I can pull it back into place. If I did that, I'd lift the front using a floor jack so that it can move on it's wheels.
