Go to any big truck suspension or spring shop. They're generally in your local business or industrial district. You can get them to exact specs. They'll make them for you from solid steel stock. Make sure they're grade 8, and come with nuts and washers. You don't' need to lock them with lock washers. They torque over 200 ft-lbs.

I got mine from LMC by the way. They had ones that worked great, but I had to spread them a part. They were over-bent.
