Default Sway Bar lower mount sheared off- anyone else?

I have a 2001 XJ with a RE 3.5 lift and JK disconnects for the front sway bar. I was out scouting yesterday on a rough trail and failed to disconnect my sway bar. Should be no big deal, but in the rough stuff I heard some odd noises. when I was able to stop I noticed that the lower mount (off the axle and with the spindle) had sheared off. The quick disconnect was in place, but the structured failed. I could not find the failed piece. Does anyone have an idea of a source and how to replace this bracket? I'm driving without a front sway bar.

Thanks,

David

For locals the trail was Pickle Gulch & my XJ did great with open diffs

The photo on the left is intact. The photo on the right shows how the bracket failed.

"structured failed"

Without pictures, I'm afraid you will never receive a correct reply.
