Rivet problems
I'm installing a 6" Fabtch 4 link coil over on my 2006 f-250 with 4.0 dirt logic shocks. I have taken all but two rivets out of the frame. On the Driver side of the truck where the new hoop bracket is going there are two rivets that are very stuburn to remove. I don't know how any one would remove these two rivets, there is no room for an air hammer and there are several line literally an inch from the rivets, so a torch is out of the question. Please somebody with some experience help!

There are three ways to get a rivet off.
Grind off one end. Either will work, if you can't get it at one end, try the other.
Torch - you may have to move the lines or protect them.
Brute force. Air chisel and muscle.
