try www.rockauto.com
use RockAuto discount code 28887572349269 but it will expire on May 9, 2010
or try a local suspension shop that deals in springs etc

Damage? I'm assuming you mean the torsion keys to keep up to the 3" shackles? Do a search in here for t-bar twist etc & you'll see that most agree that the most you should "twist" the torsion bars is 1.5" - 2"

More than that & you'll be putting a LOT more stress on front end parts & going through them a lot faster.
