The rivets fit the holes w/ no clearance and are actually a pain to remove. Bolts will fit loosely and will have threads in contact w/ the frame and bracket. Thus, when moving, the truck will flex that bracket/frame/bolt and try to loosen the nut, break the bolt, and make the hole bigger. Nothing will stop the process other than not driving. Do you want your suspension attached to the frame by bolts?

Ummmmmmm I've put over 100k on a truck with bolted on leaf spring hangers. It's not a big deal.
