You make a modifed B by taking the two shortest leaves from the Excursion spring packs and add them to the B code spring pack, placing the leaves from the Excursion springs between the shortest leaf of the B code, and the bottom overload leaf.

Also, take out sheet metal spacers that came on the B codes and replace them with the 1/8" thick spacers from the Excursion springs.
