Rob,
If you can't find what you are looking for specifically made for your leaf springs, I know where you can get Teflon sheets any thickness you like. McMaster-Carr Industrial supply Co. in Chicago. They generally don't sell to individuals
but you can give them a line about being a business. If you need more information just e-mail me, I have their latest catalog.

Try looking in the back of and 4 wheeler magazine and check for an ad for National Springs, they specialize in leaf springs and may have what you need.
