Maybe you are suggesting the bolts between the stabilizer and the big brackets can come out but the brackets will still support the weight? If so, this will give me a little more confidence.

And if I'm interpreting correctly, does this mean that to install, you lift the bumper onto the big brackets, then tilt the top into the header and run the stabilizer bolts in to help keep it from falling?

Those two upper bolts in the rubber will hold up the entire bumper. You will be surprised. But you can’t hold it by yourself while you tighten them . Please ask more questions,if I am not being clear about the process.
