Sheesh, John.. when I broke a leaf spring on the trail, I replaced the 
broken leaf with my Hi-Lift Jack handle.

I then proceeded to drive at a rather normal speed back into Moab, 
around town, out to the junkyard, and to a few other places before 
finally finding a good used leaf spring which I then replaced my 
broken-spring/Hi-Lift combination with.

No need for a fancy "spring repair kit" when you have the 
Jack-of-All-things with you..
