Sounds like a leaf broke but cant say for sure without pics.

Check both the leaf spring and see if one is bent, check u-bolts as well. Not sure what you mean by "leaf keeper" either, are you referring to the plate on top of the spring?

cant tell much from those pics, but could be a snapped leaf spring centering pin and loose u bolts

Bossokee

I wouldnt drive on it, jack it up and unbolt stuff, check everything out

outlawtr450

U bolts definatly look loose to me...

she only has to go 5 miles then i can jake her up ... was thinking broke center pin / bolt... in the last pic you can see where the clap should be ---ie in that hole

Cjohnson69

This happened to me. The ubolts were loose. Just take it down line it up and tighten it back and your good to go

mech1ohio

ok.... thanks a ton .... will check that and let you all know

outlawtr450

hey man i think a whole leaf is missing

outlawtr450

see how there is a round ended leaf right near the plastic piece and if you look close you can see where it used to be on the lead also

outlawtr450

and your missing a bumpstop not that it matters unless you over compressed the spring and broke it
