I have my truck down to the bare frame and I am getting ready to blast it ,but the frame under the rear spring perches is bent from years of heavy hauling .It probaly wouldnt bother a lot of people but it does me.My question is can I go ahead and cut the rivets from the spring perches and heat the frame up and correct it or should I avoid the heat all together?And is it okay to bolt the spring perches back to the frame where the rivets were?
Thanks for your help

Not sure on the frame straightening but seems like a logical thought. As per bolted perches, I see them bolting spring perches on everywhere, muscle cars to 4X4's.
