Radius Bushing help needed

1996 F150 4X4 4.9 radius bushings are flat and need to be replaced.
Should I drill out the rivets in the hanger brackets??
Or should I pull the front axle forward with a wench??
Which is the best way to go??
Is there anything else that will make it dart from side to side??

Thanks

x2 dagray3, but you can use a come-a-long also to pull the front end forward, the darting could also be other front end bushings, or tie rod ends
