'85 Rear Spring Replacements

My '85 RWD is looking a little sad after many years of overloading and I want to replace the rear springs. I can find places with 4WD springs but not 2WD. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this and give me a decent supplier recommendation? Thanks.

I don't know if you've looked, but believe it or not Autozone had the springs for my 93 4X4.
I might be off base here, but I believe the 2WD models use the same springs, only they're mounted under the axle...

I wonder if a later model leaf spring will work.

I bet they would. I believe my springs worked on everything from the 70s to the mid 90s.
