U bolts are cheap, at least here in Canada.
I was having trouble sourcing NOS ones for my M38A1 CDN 3 as they are sized differently from pattern 53 Jeep ones. I went to my local heavy truck suspension place and they made me what I needed on the spot while I waited.
If I recall correctly, they were quite inexpensive. I think they were $10 each including new nuts.
Broken leaf springs are a road hazard and an axle coming loose is like playing Russian Roulette...
Suspension is often overlooked.
