Kinda, its a stud with a nut fastened inside the frame so you can remove and
reinstall the stud and the nut will stay inside the rail. I found a really
cool site that shows exactly what you are dealing with.

okay I understand that, but 2 of the four bolts have nuts at the other end
as well, so it makes no sense to me, which is why I thought they were bolts
installed from the top down.

I think the studs are there to help you line it up when re installing it.
Without studs there, its a beotch to hold your heavy crossmember and
transfer case in just the right spot till you line up a bolt and get it held
up in place.
