replacing spring brackets
What's the best way to reattach mounts that were originally riveted? I've replaced shock mounts with grade 8 bolts. But this time I'm doing a front spring mount. So it's a little more critical.

I'm using a donor truck. So I've chiseled the rivets off the old truck and installing the old front leaf spring brackets on my other F350. I think grade 8 would be just at strong as rivets, but I was thinking corrosion would be an issue. Stainless isn't as strong, so I wasn't sure about that either.
So you're saying aftermarket spring mounts just come with bolts?
