Use a old car spring from the suspension.
Failure is NOT an option

Yup, you want a leaf-spring from a landrover defender.
One that's not completely rusted through Wink

Scrap yard might have 'em, if not always worth asking a farmer. L200 pickups have the safe suspension set up, so have a gander for one of those in the scrappy.

OR, you could jusy buy what you want
