I take it it's an aftermarket one yeah? if so you could either make some yourself or ask bill if he's got any.

if it's like mine it's a 2" L bracket just bolted on to the rear axle and to the drop link, you could either weld it, make a new one or bill (badger 5) does them.

i have them in stock.
i wouold check however, that the drop link lengths are setup correctly with the car on level ground, NOT with one side jacked up at a time, a la on the drive way norm. reason for why is you will be adjusting the lengths whilst the rear beam is twisted, and you are dialing in unwanted torque/stress
