Steve: Based on a comparison between your pic and the ones I posted in Feb, I'd say your "elongation" is a bit greater than mine was. Based on that, it appears to be closer to wearing through than mine were. If there is somewhere close that could replace that shackle, at least, it might make your trip to Goshen a bit less worrisome. Should only take an hour or so at almost any suspension or trailer shop. Cincinnati or Dayton can certainly have some suitable locations.
Best,
