Is it broke off on the bottom spring plate or the top mount where its welded to the frame (and I use the term welded very loosely!)

Either way, jacking under the axle or spring will change nothing for replacing the shock. You need to lift the trailer at the frame. The shock may not have that much compression in it, you may be able to pull it without jacking and compress by hand to install.
