actually jan, i had a trailer come in, that was as you suggested, and the shackle had flipped up against the frame, and jambed so the spring could no longer flex... personally, i like to set them like in the pic, but with only 15-20 degrees angle on them, with just the weight of the trailer on it. that way it has plenty of movement, but won't "dog lock" for lack of a better term.... anything is better then a horse trailer, with no suspension

I still can't get my head around it, looks like it would bind the way it is. 2000 lb springs are extremely stiff, so this way may be an improvement. After putting those springs on a buddy's trailer his 4-500 lb 4 wheeler didn't budge them, so maybe he would have benefitted from the shackles that way.
I love the galvanized part, the only concern I would have is spring hangers bolted on. The bolts will rot way before anything else, normally they are welded on.

I suppose the bolts are in lieu of grinding off the galvanizing and welding.
