Good idea.
The main thing to remember when installing the bolts is to see if the splines/knurls will line up with the ones already in the hangers. If they will that is great, it will keep from enlarging the bolt hole.
Rotate the bolt a little by hand and see if it will slightly enter the bolt hole. Whether it does or not, drive the bolt fully into the hanger.
