Do you mean the U-bolts? If so, then I think the Ford 8" takes 3" U-bolts and you'll have to buy new ones. Any spring shop will have them, or sometimes PepBoys or other parts stores. They should probably be replaced anyway...

If you mean the plates that go under the spring you can either get new ones or get them from a car with an 8 3/4
