They can be left in place if you don’t wanna mess with the rivets. Removing the rivets isn’t that bad with some patience. Simply cut an X in the top of the rivet head and use a good air chisel to shear the head off, then a good punch and hammer can drive the rivet studs out the back. Be sure and replace the 4 rivets on each side that hold the cross member in place with some quality grade 8 bolts. Probably 99% of this job was done with 1/2”x 1.5” grade 8 hardware. There are a few mounting points in the front that require a slightly longer bolt. For drilling all the frame holes I bought 4 Neiko brand step bits on amazon that go up to 1/2” and some Irwin 1/8” speed bits for the pilot holes. I was worried I was going to burn through my step bits like crazy especially considering they were only 7 bucks a piece, was I wrong. I literally used the same pilot, and step but for every hole drilled on my truck, which was a pile. The key to these bits is patience, put your drill on its lowest speed, use hard steady pressure, and good cutting oil and it will last you no problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
