Leaf spring ratings needed

I have a 2000 ranger 2.5 2wd xlt 2-door.
The SPR on the tag for the leaf springs is "K"
I'm trying to figure out the weight ratings for "K".
Anybody know what rating "K" is or possibly a site that lists the spring weight rating on the truck.

That clears that up.

4X4 weighs 400 lbs more than 4X2.

Another Street SAE.

Ok that helped a lot. It did not match the letter K to anything but it showed me I either have a 1150 pound leafspring or a 1225 leafspring and from the chart I can measure the thickness to determine which one I have.
My plan is to buy another set that has more poundage and I wanted to make sure I did not buy springs that have the same weight specs as stock.
Thanks again!
