    Use only ring only with a slipped larkshead. It's how I have hung for years.

    I think the size of those rings combined with the larkshead is causing the problem. Looks like when the larkshead is tightened under weight it would be working to force your rings open. You may want to try attaching them by another means such as a soft shackle.
