Leaf Springs, 97 Explorer

I've noticed my explorer leaning to the left quite a bit (measured about 2.5 inches of lean on flat ground). I've read elsewhere this is caused overtime due to the gas tank being on that side, the weight of the driver, and just overall use. So I'm going to go ahead and change these.

I wanna get something just like the stock ones, but can't seem to find any specific to 4 door explorers anywhere. Am I going to have to go to a dealer, or can I just use some generic ones from somewhere? Anyone know the sizes/styles I would need to look for?

I figure I'll replace both of them.
