I used the lowered mounts sold by ECE, but the location should be the same. If you look at post #49 of my build thread, it has the pics of the mounting.

My brackets straddled that rivet and I had to drill holes in the frame and leave the rivet intact.

I've had two that lined up with the rivet, and one that didn't.
