Default Rear leaf spring shortage ???

So is there nobody making rear leaf springs today? I hear two companies went out of business.
I can find ones with the reverse eyes. But I don't want to drop 2"

The problem is that the springs (as well as engine blocks) are so heavy that shipping them is big $ and taking them to a local car swap meet to sell usually means you're going to be transporting them there and then home again. I know this by experience. The light stuff sells and is easier to bring home.
