    Which leaf?

    Because if it’s at the bottom (not your overloads) you can get the Dakar AAL and swap the broken one (and the other side too for uniformity)

    Contact OME; ask is the covered by warranty. If the say no; ask how much for a replacement leaf.

    I would hope OME will warranty this! I understand there's a lot of variables, but we pay a premium for these quality parts they should hold up!

    I’ve had nothing but top notch customer service thru ARB USA, but at 5 years old I would expect to pay for a new leaf myself.

    Have you checked with OME? Personally even if I had to pay for the new spring I'd go with what's supposed to be in it then guessing!

    I have a set of OME’s that I took off the truck a while ago. I believe they are bent, because they were causing a 1” taco lean. I am planning to break them down to use the second and/ or third leaves from the top for another project, and I was going to scrap the rest. I can’t imagine shipping would be too bad if you want a couple.
