Bumper and Tailgate

Got a new(er) style bumper, the one with the cutouts, and a mint condition tailgate for 100 bucks today. What all is needed to remove the bumper aside from a lot of strength and some pb blaster, just the front bolts come out like on mine or are those newer style ones different? I cant recall seeing the lag bolts on them but i do have them. here is the pic of mine as it is now in all its beat up beauty haha but it shows the bolts i am talking about
