Spring shackle source???

I CANNOT find a source for rear spring shackles for my 93 4x4 pickup. Even my local NAPA is struggling.
Anybody have a good source that's not "just google it"?

I bought quite a few Shackle Kits from my Local Toyota Dealer it has been several years not sure if they have not gone obsolete .

It can`t hurt to check.

If I was in a real Hurry I made my own Here in the Great Liquid brine belt all the spring hardware gets cut off.

I considered making them, but I like factory designed hardware if I can find it. Worst case I'll be pulling out the fab tools.
I didn't think about the dealer, I usually hate talking to them. Good idea though, I'll give them a call tomorrow.

It's crazy how a part for such a popular vehicle is so hard to find.

I was lucky I had a great relationship with my dealer parts manager once I got him trained.

Some parts people are to lazy to look up parts for our older Toyota vehicles then you get that is obsolete.

When his minions screwed up orders it was never a problem sending things back.
