Are you talking the sheet metal on the body, the frame mount or the washers themselves?

For the 1 + 2 cutting out the bad and welding in new steel will be the only correct fix, for the third I believe Energy Suspension makes a body mount kit for the 2wd trucks.

I figured, no easy fix I know of. Cut out the rust and weld in some new steel is about the only fix.
