Suspension question: what is this and where can I find a replacement

Hey folks! Looking for an assist here. Was doing my weekly inspection and noticed that this part that holds the leaf springs together was loose and saw that the tab had cracked. I need to find a replacement but I'm not sure what it's called or where to find it. I looked at the other three leaf springs and they looked good, but also thought it weird that there's only one on the front of each spring, but not the back. Any one know where I can get a new one for the broken one, and if there should also be one on the back of each spring?

I've got a 2020 3855br with the stock road armor suspension, but not having any luck on lipperts site. Here's a picture of the busted one and a good one so y'all know what I'm talking about.

Leaf spring clamps.
Auto parts store.
Take the old one with you.

I replaced mine with universal spring clamps from the autoparts store. I noticed the same thing before heading out on a big trip. Checked those babies all the time.

Thanks y'all! Didn't realize they don't hold the springs together, the spring pack does that. These just keep them in alignment.
