I would consider removing the front clip as a whole except I dont have room for it. Im going to have to take the pieces upstairs in an extra room as it is and since the truck has an expensive paint job on it, I can't sit it outside either.
Instead of carrying everything upstairs you could do the following in an afternoon:
1. Remove all bolts/support rods yourself so the front clip is just resting on framerails and supported under fender bottom. This means only the radiator support bolts and the ones at the back as well as wires.
2. Call buddy/neighbor to help you set clip on plywood on driveway.
3. Connect hoist, remove mounts, and move away.
4. Re position clip on front of truck and slip core support bolt thru to keep it there.
5. Remove bumper and brackets first to make it real easy and avoid dings.
