I'd check your local junk yards first. But if you wanted brand new, I did a quick Google search and a bunch of sites came up. Here's one of many...

I added add-a-leafs to my 2000 Ranger 4x4 a year or two ago and I just went into my local parts store and ordered them. They have a spring shop here in northern Michigan that makes them. They were reasonable too, If you still ahve trouble post online here and I will forward their information.

Have a great day, JB
