you could try exhaust wrap but that probably won't hold up for long if the metal is even the slightest bit rusty. Any way to take it apart to fix?

Hell Creek Suspension. Rusty's is the only other company I know to make MJ leafs, but there's no comparison in quality.

4.5" is generally regarded as the minimum.

I've read every review I can find about Hell Creek, and I've never read anything bad about the company, the service, or the parts. They offer a simple warranty: If your leaf springs sag or break, we will replace them on our dime.

If you buy a full kit from them, though, you're getting RC parts.
