its definately gonna be a dealer only, or junkyard part.

You can still drive the truck though. Just take the sway bay off completely, just don't take corners too fast until you know how it handles.
I would try a junk yard/ salvage yard, you'l probably find it there.

I took my sway bar off about a year and a half ago. I got tired of constantly changing the bushings to stop the clunking. I was a little leery at first , but it handled very well, so I just left it off. You should be OK with it off until you can get parts, or you may find you don't really need it.

hey i dont know the name of it but the U bolts that retain the axle bolt to it and the break has explosed the U bolt not much holding on that corner NOT REAL SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THAT. puts to much stress on rest of the bracket just my opinion
