The downside of drilling through that bracket where you've marked (hole) is it's not all that secure. It will leave an open hole or close, see the picture in post 8. Not that it can't work, the brackets I had for my sport bumper were the same. I think I pulled them off a Blazer, it was a long time ago.
I haven't ordered them yet, but plan to run with what's in post 3 and use the "coil spring" brackets. The coil spring bracket needs a slot cut out to clear the rivet. I have no idea what your brackets and those in the OP are for. They supposedly for a SWB leaf spring truck, but I'm going to say no. Obviously there were some variances.

The hole where I marked does exist in the frame rail, but I don't have that hole in the bracket. I am thinking about drilling a hole in the frame (furthest hole forward in the bracket) though. It looks like I should have gotten the coil spring brackets, but I can make this work.
