Why is it necessary to remove the drive shafts to drop the sub frame? I have my front shocks off to install new ones and was going to drop the frame to install new bushings and ball joints and a larger sway bar...But I don't understand what the drive axles could be interfering with. Please help!

Because the motor and trans remain attached to the vehicle body, using an engine support. The subframe can't come down with the axles attached.
