hope I'm not to late with this, but for what it's worth...spent a couple hours under my truck last night removing the stock upper shock brackets and if you find as little room under there as I did laying on your back trying to swing a hammer/chisel or run a grinder then I think you'll find the easiest method to removed the rivets is to center punch them and work your way up with drill bits until you can punch out the rivet shank. It worked for me anyway.
