Broken shackle
Was preparing for a trip today. Glad I checked the running gear! Found this. Are those broken things called shackles? Looks like I'll be delayed a few days while Les Schwab gets the part...

Op I personally don't trust LS with anything.
I wouldn't move it a foot , too many things can go wrong, axle can shift, ruin the tires ,ruin the axle, then you got real problems. The least I would do is get a couple new shackle plates, and bushing and hook it back together, and then get it to someone to replace all of them with wet bolts. The rest of your shackles cannot be far behind in failure. Or as one suggested get a spacer of some kind in it, and then strap it down before moving.
