I was driving with trailer and heard a noise. I am eighty miles from home with stuff on trailer and my leaf spring shackle broke. It looks like leaf and bushing are resting on frame and both sides of rusty shackle are sitting on bolts above making a clicking noise. Is it possible I can get my truck and trailer home to fix my trucks shackle?

This is not the safest thing to do especially towing a trailer and you will try to drive eway speeds. Best bet is to see if spring shop very close and go to that. Or if you can put trailer at a safe place with goods like a storage area if they will let you. Then fix it and come back and get it.
