+2 dealer only part and they are still in good quantity around the US. I have to do the same thing as mine are leaking since the engine build. I stopped by the dealer a couple weeks ago and they are around a 100 bucks at the dealer but are far less of a pain in the *** than sitting around tring to cut up the factory ones and splice in new rubbers. the bolt that holds them to the frame rail is a torx head on my 97 so I would guess they are all the same.
