Front Spring Codes

OSCS · Jun 30, 2012

I have x-codes in the front and 350 blocks in the rear and it clears them nicely. I do get a very slight rub on full lock though. Im looking to sell them though, like resuce its time for a change. I want to ditch the 35's and move to 33" im also in the market for factory suspension. Id like a better ride

I would be interested in the 350 blocks if you decide to sell them.

What size block is needed in the rear with an a code spring and x in the front?

johnholman · Jul 1, 2012

I'm not sure. Probably $100 or so from ford. Plus u bolts

I think an x code will make a 250 sit close to level with the factory block

OSCS · Jul 1, 2012

yeah with the x codes and 350 blocks my truck sits almost perfectly level. Im just ready to bring it down to 33" tires so this combo is not neccesary anymore.

SD front leaf springs

Might me a mute point, but can you tell what a spring rating or code is based off the stamped numbers on the leaf itself?

Heres what I'm looking at...
Guy has front leaf springs for sale. Came off of his brother in laws 2003 f250 6.0 powerstroke. The b-i-l bought pickup new and very shortly after installed a lift kit. Unfortunately the truck was sold a couple if years ago so can't check the door tag.

Can these numbers stamped into them tell me anything??

S — 2C34-5310-AAB, 4,000 lb.
T — 2C34-5310-ABB, 4,400 lb.
U — 2C34-5310-ACB, 4,800 lb.
V — 2C34-5310-ADB, 5,200 lb.
W — 2C34-5310-AEA, 5,600 lb.
X — 2C34-5310-AFA, 6,000 lb.

^^^^ Based on the info OBSWIZ posted in another thread, would they be V codes? The numbers/letters are consistent.

I would bet they are and they are probably worth a try. I should look to see what numbers are on my new V codes.

Strokersace · Jul 12, 2012

If you wouldn't mind Tom, that'd be great!

Strokersace · Jul 12, 2012

Tom did you have a chance to look at those springs?

Interesting. Wonder if if there's any correlation then between stamped numbers and actual part numbers?

x codes and stock blocks on a E99 250 sits level. is what i have.

night and day difference up front. having run them, i wont run another spring up front. rides better, handles better, and leveled the front of my truck out.

tag on the door said i came from a 5200# front end.

$350 give or take.

get them from a bone yard. shipped to my door, from a 35,000 mile truck totalled with rear end damage, cost me $75

35k, might as well be new springs.
