Uhhh... wow! not sure where you found that picture, but the truck is FAR from stock!
Looks like there is a block under the stock spring block.
The rubber things there are airbags.
Those shocks are some fancy ones with a reservoir, also not sure if they've been moved. Judging from the disc brakes thats a newer truck.
Generally people don't take out the rubber bump stops. Over time they break down and fall off.

Here are a couple of pics of that shackle reverse kit halfway installed. Please excuse the rust. I just now had time and place to get going on it again. You will need the extended center pivots as well. If you lift it, it will camber the tires without them. Got to do a little welding to install them. Wasn't bad.

And Techgod's right, they more than likely wore off than were removed.

Yeah, but you are not missing those, those are air bags that someone added to that truck. What you are missing is just a couple of small rubber blocks that mount to the frame that the stoppers rest against during overload.

there is no easy way, you just need to take your time. i have found it helps to set the ubolts loose so the axle just barely touches the springs, then move the axle forward/back by the wheel until you fell it seat in the hole.

probably none. you don't go by where the wheels sit after reversing. you go by how they sit after going forward and straight for at least 10-15 feet.

Can you elaborate on that? Have you done any troubleshooting, or just guessing? Handling issues? Abnormal tire wear? Funny noises?
Like Tom said, the way the suspension is setup, the tires can lean after backing up, that doesn't mean there is a problem, its just the way it is.
