If you pull the spring pack and take it to standens I'm sure it wouldnt cost much for them to just replace the broken leaf.  I used to work in the shop there.

As long as its not the main leaf I don't see why not. However if you've broken one leak the rest probably aren't in the best of shape. I second  talking to Standens.

Do you want the mechanic answer or the farmer answer?

It is funny I turn wrenches all day and on the weekend I don't want to do it, anyways paying someone and I keep my sanity is worth every penny.

 The Heavy Equipment Mechanic answer is take it to a spring shop and have them replace the broken one or call wreckers and find a replacement.
Suspension I remember that from school. FYI the ride suspension in a D11 is in the seat.
