Once they get flat, more load will shorten them, angling the shackles back inwards.
Good, Or Bad? Well, the factory engineers limited the travel to how much the figured is correct. They put in snubbers that limit just how low it can move. My own '53 will allow about 3" of back-bend before the snubber comes into contact. I'm guesstimating that at that extreme, the shackles will be back to vertical.
