Broken leaf spring shackle

One of my rear leaf spring shackle rusted through like many other peoples have. I was wondering what is the best replacement for the money, and where to get them. I will replace both sides cause I'm sure the other one will go soon. I don't mind if the rear ends up lowered by 1 to 2 inches. Or if it stays stock height.

I just went to a local dealer. Had them in stock and weren't very expensive. I just bought a pair, as i figured the other side wouldn't be far behind......

Shouldn't need to do that....I didn't. You may want to save yourself some grief and buy new shackle bolts, as you may have to cut out one or more of them. And use lots of anti-seize when you reassemble everything.....
