That may be because I've probably played with cars a bit more

A good floor jack helps a lot. You can do one side at a time. (If
your Diff mount is ok and you don't plan to replace it.) Put the
rear up on jackstands. Then put the jack under the differential to
support it as you pull the bolts on one side. Lower the diff, then
remove the old subframe

A lift normally has (I would think) a ratchet mechanism of some sort, or pins
that you lock in once the vehicle is raised. They don't rely on hydraulic
