Spring rate question

Take a look at page 6 of this link:
https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas...2/expedicd.pdf

Look at the Rear Coil section. Look at the column near the far right labeled Deflection at Ground with the units of lbs per in. Why are there 2 values for each row? XLT vs Eddie Bauer trim? Those numbers seem to be pretty far apart.

Any ideas?

Probably variable rate springs.

They don't look like the progressive rate springs I'm used to seeing.
