ok im at the point with my truck where im getting ready to get the frame powder coated. i have been taking bracket off and behind everyone there is rust.
is it acceptable to cut out all the rivets and then replace them with grade 8 bolts?

are there any things i should be worrying about when doing this?

and the one concern i have is whill the powder coated cross members fit or will i have to do some persuading?
