Are you talking about the BUMP STOP part number 4730 in this tech image?

If so-Bronco Graveyard has them, (prob sure DC and a few other vendors also have them).

Pretty sure you're looking for a "white elephant", (probably a boneyard or a member here with an old frame being the only option) as I don't ever remember seeing these ever being repopped. Find out member here Tom, (North Carolina area) as he also had a lot of resources for hard to find obsolete parts like this.
Don't rule out the early Bronco guys as a resource for this part though as I remember the ones on my 76' EB also having bad rust issues, (I wound up drilling 1/4" holes into the bottom of mine to keep the mud/dirt washed out).
Have you tried reaching out to Green Sales, (prob my last option of a vendor):

Is it the part that bolts to the frame mount that's suppose to when flexed push down on the spring? If so I have a pair on some old springs behind my shop.
