Broken Leaf Spring ***PICS***

Hey just noticed that I am missing the forward half of one of my rear springs. I did notice that about 6months ago during regular highway driving that something appeared to have rubbed the sidewall of my tire almost down to the nothing so had to replace the tire. I originally thought I had picked up a piece of rubber from a big rig blowout and wedged itself into the leaf springs rubbing the inside wall of the tire, but now I am thinking that my leaf broke back then. So my question is, what now? Am I needing to replace both sides and with what? Do they have original OEM leafs or what is the best alternative to this?? It is at stock height and was thinking of going with the Ball Joint Spacers so with this combo what are my options? Thanks.

I think I'd replace both.
