Is it possible to take the rivets off the hangers and move them up am drill new holes with bolts?

anything is "possible" but drop hangers are relatively cheap and then you know it's done right. and it's pretty much the same amount of work. imo

Have fun with the driver's side hanger! A major PITA!!! Super tight fit between the tank & frame. You'll need REALLY small hands to get the bolts in there.
Easier with the bed off, the tank out, or if the GF has small hands.

Have your pinion angle checked after the install. With a flip kit, the angle is predetermined, but not so with the shackle/hanger's. My '97 required a 1.5deg. shim. Some trucks need more, some none at all.
