Been playing with my trailer setup as I’m about to start trailering and haven’t used it before. I’m planning on using annex spreader bars as wing support poles for trailering and have been considering options for lower attachment. I have an external bar underneath aircraft joining both lift strut brackets together so those holes are in use already too. Is there any reason I can’t replace the existing AN6-11 hex head bolt at lower lift strut attachment point with an AN46-11 eye bolt on permanent basis, similar to this https://images.app.goo.gl/8LqBzvP8tUwZ11728 , so I can attach directly to the top of it with a clevis pin?

Without careful analysis, I suspect that would probably be OK, since that bolt is principally in shear.
