4 Link air ride

Recently while doing some work on my 95 Fummins. I found one of my rear springs has a leaf with a crack in it. So instead of pulling the spring pack and carring it to a spring shop to be repaired. I have decided to do a 4 link air ride setup. I have searched till I am blue. I have found numerous parts in balistic fabs website. However i am wondering if this style of control arms are stronger. The problem is I can not find this style part may be someone could help.
here is a pic of one
thanks

Same here. I have 4 big ol air bags, just need to find the down time to build the brackets and such. I couldn't believe the difference the Kelderman kit made on a 02 dodg 2500 we installed this summer. It's crazy.
