Suspension Spring Links

The last time I leveled up my trailer it picked the frame so high that the spring leaf link reversed and the axle came down. (See Picture). I lowered the trailer to it's towing height and the spring shackle stayed in the position it was when the axle dropped.
Has this happened to anybody else and what is an easy way to get it back in its' normal position? Normal Top Photo, Mine Bottom Photo

Lift that side so that the shackles are as horizontal as possible and then use a bar or 2x4 to flip it back. Don't tow in that condition.

Happen to me last year. Look up "Suspension Equilizers- Does this look right. Read #6 on this forum.

Lift up the trailer again to take the weight off the suspension then Jack up the correct axle can't tell which one that is from picture. Once you Jack it up a bit it should go back into the right position. You might have to persuade it a bit but probably not.
