Doubt it. Probably dealer item or a junk yard.
Did they break on the threaded portion or rust out?
I've fixed a broken one before by welding on a bolt to the broken threaded part..........off the vehicle of course.

Get some 7/16 all thread rod. Then use a torch and bend one end that's what I did worked great. You can find replacements but they are like 40 bucks per side. All thread cost about 5 bucks.

You could always go to the hardware store and get some 8 inch long eye bolts and cut a portion out of the eye so it makes a hook. Grab a couple nuts and slap it all back in. Literally just did this last weekend cost me all of 5 bucks in hardware and good as new!
