We broke one while in the Elkhart County Fairgrounds Campground. Backing into a site there, I heard a loud "pop" and next day we found the broken shackle and the right rear.
When you get this repaired, have the welder install some gussets on all of the shackles to help with the support. You could also get the https://www.morryde.com/products/x-factor-crossmember/ and install it.

Looks like the rear portion has been broken for sometime compared to the 2 side portions

If you’re on Facebunk Lippert has a group page followed by some folks at Lippert. “Lippert Scouts, The Community”
Might be a good place for your picture and opinions

Call Lippert Customer Service. I had the same issue they sent me 4 shackle hangers and 8 of the V clips that can be welded between the hangers for extra strength. They sent these as goodwill gesture. While I have to pay for the expense of welding I was happy they sent the parts for free.

We had the driver's rear hanger break after running over some permanent rumble strips outside of Canby, Ca. After passing thru Alturas heading south, I noticed the rear our tri-axle CY dogging. Stopped a couple miles later and found the free-floating shackle attached to the spring, but not the frame. Called a mobile welder to fix us up and continued on.
