You have to take the studs out of the threaded inserts in the unibody and replace both the studs and bolts with longer bolts.
If you are in an area like I am where they use lots of salt on the roads, I'd suggest using plenty of penetrating oil on both the bolts and studs for several days before you attempt removal.

Once the stud is removed, it's just a threaded insert in the unibody like the other side with the bolt. Lower the crossmember down until you can slide the spacer in, then just thread the longer bolt through it all, and it will work like any other bolt.
