Need Leaf Spring Bracket

[exp94]

Hello,
I'm looking for Leaf Spring Hanger Brackets for a 94 Explorer. These are the front brackets on the rear leaf springs (set forward of rear wheel). They are riveted to the frame. I tried to purchase them at the dealer & was told this is an obsolete part. Mine are rusting out Any ideas where I can locate these would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have also been looking for these. I mangled one pretty good when wheeling. So far the only option I have been able to come up with is to get some from a local junk yard (in Az things don't rust) or to make a set myself. I'm leaning to making my own set. This way I can push the springs down another 1/2 " or so which will help lift the rear of the truck 1/4". I can also design them with a sort of skid plate on it so I don't mangle one again.
