It appears the batteries would block the vent in the tray, unless they are on a platform to allow airflow.
The bottom drain actually lines up with the middle line of the batteries so there is a small gap that would let in air. The stock battery boxes has the drain directly underneath the battery.

Four 6 Volt GC2 Battery Install in new 2017 Triton 2951.
I really wish I would have taken a picture of what the two 12 Volt batteries looked like when I bought the trailer but I was in to big of a rush to pull them out and didn't take a picture. The battery lids just halfway set on top so none of the venting made any difference at all.
These are four GC2 batteries I purchased from Costco and as you will see in the pictures, there is plenty of room and then some for these batteries. The box is built from 1/2 plywood and the bottom tray was a storage bin I bought at Walmart. I cut the bottom off to become the tray. The drain is a standard Black plastic 1 1/2 sink drain pipe. Below is a list of parts I bought on Amazon to make up the battery cables. I also changed out the Battery Cut Off Switch for a 4 position switch instead. I can choose bank 1, bank 2, both, and off. I have new 4 gauge wire running in to the trailer and all cables at the batteries are 2 gauge.

LASCO 03-4313 Black Plastic Tubular 1-1/2-Inch by 6-Inch Flanged Tailpiece
Beginning of building the box.
Painted box inside and out.
Box in place to confirm fitment.
All batteries installed and connected. Cable entries into the box were drilled so the cable was just even with the top edge of the box.
Outside view of lid with vent tube fitting attached.
Inside view of lid with rubber weatherstripping attached.
Completed box with all cable entries sealed with black silicon sealant. Beside the bottom drain and vent tube, the box is air tight.
It appears the batteries would block the vent in the tray, unless they are on a platform to allow airflow.

10 yo trailer. Broke a leaf spring last trip out. No spare on board, that wont happen again! Have 7 on the way from this company, $212 shipped, usa made by emco.
Springs
Broke one a couple years ago coming back from Sturgis, luckily there was a farm store about 30 miles away and was able to replace it on the side of the road. I went with the same springs you did and upgraded to a Dexter rubber susp and wet bolt kit at the same time.
