Post Front receiver

I have a 2001 250sd i want to install a Hidden hitch front receiver the instuctions state to remove the (4)bumper bolts and frame mount bolts.
my question is how many are there? from what i can see it looks like two per side. I don't want to remove the wrong ones and lose bumper alignment.

its not hard to realign your bumper. you can do it by yourself but it will help to have an extra set of hands. there are 4 bolts in front and 1 on each side in the wheel well holding your bumper to your truck. if you have fog lights undo the harness from the lights and bumper first.

Wanting to do the same to my truck.
Are there any air bag sensors in the front bumper area that need to be avoided?

Thanks for info, I just got done with installing it with some help from my wife. no sensors in way, but it does help to tape the spacers to the frame and too have side frame bolts snuged up to help in aligning the bumper. also the extra set of eyes helps too, otherwise it went fine just over an hour and twenty minutes.
