Default Body mount bolt question

I have some Olympic extreme reversibars on my Rubi and they hit my stock rock rails. I want to replace the bolts on the bottom of the body mounts with longer bolts so I can manufacture some 1/4" spacers to mount between the body mount frame yokes and my reversibars. This should eliminate the contact between the rails and the reversibars. I tried to punch a couple of the bolts out and they don't seem to want to pop out of the body mount. Does anyone know if these can be popped out or not?
The other option would be to install a body lift but I am not sure how much trouble those are to install.

I removed all mine to put on a 1" body lift, after you loosen them they will hang in place. take a pry bar and wedge them out. there is a retaining washer that keeps them in the hole. the M.O.R.E. body lift I did was done in about an hour. the hardest part is seperating the big washer from the original body mount bolts.
