That makes the most sense! Turning the steering wheel probably would cause like a bump-steer situation on the left front. The wheelbase would shorten slightly on that side with the bushing squish and shackle swing when steering right. Since the stock spring is arched upward, when you hit a bump the shackle swings away from that stop. The only time the shackle would swing towards that stop trail riding would be when the left front is being lifted off the ground.

My 70 Jimmy has it but there doesnt appear to be holes in the frame, altho the bracket has slotted holes. It is welded on.
