For the strap, I would get the shop or a welder to zap on a little tab of 1/8" steel and with a hole drilled through that instead of the frame.

I also note that the spring hangers aren't very tall which should be another thing that would reduce the chances of stress cracks in the vertical area of the I-beam. Have you maybe towed a lot of miles on rough-ish roads? Is it one of those frames made from sheet steel welded together and *look* like a regular I-beam? Hard to tell exactly from the photo.
