Hey guys,

Im from the UK and I’m in the process of installing the OME rear leafs and noticed one of my U bolt leaf spring mounting plates is rusted straight through. However, im having a little trouble sourcing the part and if you could point us in the right direction it’s be greatly appreciated.

I’ve checked both rockauto and summit - Summits only option the warrior 1780 @ $132 but is out of stock for month. It asks o looks fairly flimsy for that price point. At the moment this seems to be my only option that’ll ship to the UK.

Does any one know of any viable alternatives, maybe a different model/truck that’ll fit - I don’t mind buying OEM of could either.

For reference it’s part 5/6 on the diagram below 👇

Many thanks

Part #s F57Z5798AE and F57Z5798AD.
 






Solved

Hi, I have managed to source these from eBay from a seller quirkparts. The cost to send to the uk for both the RH and LH was £95. To find these items on the web/eBay etc you have to search the part numbers above 👆. Typing alternatives of skid plate/ leaf plates won’t return results.
