Looks like the u bolt broke(can't see the other side). Take them off and reposition the rear/block/spring with new u bolts and you should be fine.

Agreed, but after checking the spring perch for integrity and the pin off the block.

I have my whole set and can be had for price of shipping. Blocks plates and ubolts. Use the ubolts at own risk.
