Okay, here's a picture of the front sensor and the brackets, I took them off to show the ball ends better. They have no corrosion at all.
I'll ship the brackets to you for $15

Very good, now you can enjoy the truck more.
Keep an eye out for air leaks from the shocks, lines etc. Get used to how often the ARC compressor runs, so you can tell better when there is a leak etc. Mine rarely would run unless a load was added in back, or the truck is located at an angle, or a tire is on a higher spot(bump, curb etc).
Whenever you get near the shocks, I'd suggest spraying the rubber bladders with a protectant. They get leaks mainly from either the air fitting, or the bladder rubber cracks at the area which bends the most(and stays there). Take good care of the shocks, they are obsolete as OEM, and the aftermarket choices are expensive. Regards,
