I have a hydraulic cylinder (a tilt cylinder from a 12k forklift) that
is leaking. We took it apart and found that the rod is pitted on the
bottom and that probably tore up the seals.

So, my question is, what is the most economical option here, is there
perhaps a CNC based company that custom makes such things?Any other ideas?

Thanks

Get dimensions and look at the likes of Surplus Center in Lincoln.
Plenty of new surplus cylinders there.

Or there are "bone yards" for salvage/spare parts...here Abilene Machine
is close for ag equipment; there have to be at least a couple in a large
metro area like you're in/near that deal w/ industrial equipment same way.
