Why don't you just make your own?
I did for my 94 Limited and they been on there for a couple years with no problems.
There is a thread on here how to make them. All you need is some
3/16 or 1/4" flat bar stock, measure the length you need, drill some holes for the leaf spring bolts and frame bolts. Just make them look like a "H" and install them. Super easy and cheap.

I got mine from this site about a year ago. Put a coat of paint on them and they are holding up real nice.

i've been thinking about making my own but i dont really trust myself to make something that could kill me if tey break on thw hwy. i've made roof racks and head ache racks and bush bumpers before but if the welds break on those i'm not going to be going down the road draging a corner of my truck on the pavement. but if i was to make them would 1/4 inch flat bar steal with the holes drilled in either end for the leaf and frame mounts and another hole drilled through in the midle and then bolts holding it all together work? if i did this i would most likely weld the nuts onto the bolts just so i know they wont come off. if no one can picture in their head what im thinking i can draw something up on that paint program.

Just like you said 1/4" flat bar drill holes and the middle you can run a bolt and sleeve it with pipe or stick some 1/4" flat bar in the middle and weld away. If you have fab stuff and know how to weld you will be good. I have done mine this way and had no problems.
Think of it this way if you build them out of 1/4" and look at the factory ones thickness you will feel safer with your homemade ones.
