Motor mounts don't line up

I had to jack up the drivers side 4" or so to get my LT's in, and now only the back bolt lines up and will go in. Whats going on, and what can i do to fix this? Also has anyone ever had a hose pop loose when jacking the motor, becuase while i was jacking it i got a random coolant leak somewhere near the motor mount. Help

I found it easier to loosen the motor mount from the block and that will give you a little wiggle room to line up the mount bolt and get it installed and then tighten up the mount again and it should work. Also a little grease and a hammer to help push it thru the mount always helps. Good luck!!!
