    Note
    The factory SPRs circled in red are hidden behind the crossmember and must be ground down from inside the Frame Rail. When grinding the SPRs, grind down only enough of the SPR to remove the component; do not completely remove the SPRs from the joint. These rivets are not replaced when installing the new Rear Rail Upper, and the remaining portions of these SPRs are left in the joint to keep some mechanical connection to the inboard bulkhead.
