also you can get them from jcr and get the whole set. They will probably be cheaper that dealer parts and stronger i would think too. Plus they have other cool stuff as well.

use a little bit of tape and tape the bolt to the wrench or put fishing line threw the hole and tie to the end of the bolt and pull threw, or use a magnet. the magnet was the hardest way for me.
and you gotta take the bumper mounts off

Yes, where the exhaust bolts up, and if you have a factory skid (probably even if you dont) there should be nut plates all the way back.
