5C34 5310 - AFB

so its a 5200 lb rate coil

5200 rate isn't what you want. You want alteast equal to or lower than 4800

oneturboforme · Mar 10, 2012

Think its just depends on what you want... I think blowby has 6000lb ones and I think his truck looks really good..

He cut a coil off of his.

4800 lb springs with no rear block will sit dead level. I had 4400 lb springs with no rear block and my truck sat low in the front. 5200 lb will probably sit pretty level, maybe a little higher in the front.

What tires were you running? And any rub issues? Factory or aftermarket rims

Are those good or should i go to the 4800#? Is that what your running on your truck, What i want is better 60ft at the track,softer ride,and leveled look...

Anyone have pictures of their truck with 4400# and no rear block?

You install those 5200's yet?
I'm looking at getting a set locally. My fear is the 4400 will be what I was looking for but that they'll start to sag and drop even more after time.

I don't have the 5200's...I have the 5C3Z-5310-GA, Which are supposed to be 4400..There are some members here currently running them and they haven't said anything about sagging..

I will let you know as soon as I put them on

Rode awesome on my truck. I used the factory shocks. You'll want to trim the bump stops though. I never did and that would have probably made my ride even better.

powerlifter405 · Mar 12, 2012

I found this @ tousley ford online and maybe it will help those who want a CODE and Spring Rate cross reference:

4,000--5C34-5310-AHB nothing found poss pre08??
4,400--5C34-5310-AGB Code W (4400 LB) 4WD
4,800--5C34-5310-AFB Code V (4800 LB) 4WD
5,200--5C34-5310-AEB Code T (5200 LB) 4WD
5,600--5C34-5310-ADB Code D (5600 LB) 4WD
6,000--5C34-5310-ACB Code C (6000 LB) 4WD
6,500--5C34-5310-ABB Code B (6500 LB) 4WD
7,000--5C34-5310-AAB Code A (7000 LB) 4WD

Jeff, @ PSN you mentioned the 4800 VS the 4400.

Why that, I asked @ PSN but maybe share the thought here as well.

oneturboforme · Mar 12, 2012

Hmm so there 4800... K thanks that helped a lot.. I must of looked it up wrong

powerlifter405 · Mar 12, 2012

If I can acquire both a 5200 and 4800, i'll grab both and test both out over the summer to see which feels better, control, ride, etc... I'll post my findings if I go that route.
