What Code F350 Springs?

Are all f350 front springs W Codes? Are all F250/350 Rear springs B Codes? I Have a 4x4 PSD and i think i need the W/B to achieve 2" lift all around correct?

No.

You need to check the door code to determine which springs are on the vehicle.

For the listing of the axle code, bottom right side of the sticker. The sticker will actually say "axle" or "AX"

If it's a v code it will say v under "AX"? How much lift would the V/B net me? I have the 7.3 Diesel.

you probably have v codes up front on a stock psd x. most powerstrokers go with the "x" codes up front to level them out. the x codes are the plow package springs.....

If it's a V code spring on the front of the rig you're looking at, then yes, the first alpha character would be a "V".

How much lift would the V/B net me? I have the 7.3 Diesel.
All of your spring questions are answered in this collection of threads regarding the Excursions steering wander problem.

Flawless, if you're not doing anything Saturday, drive down to Morgan Hill for a GTG we're having.

Nick (weekendwarrior) from Alamo is supposed to be there, as well as another newer FTE brother from Mountain View. The rest of us live down here on the Central Coast. Pete's in Prundale, Nolan is in Santa Cruz, and I'm in Seaside.

We're all meeting up at Andy's place (Fat Diesel) in Morgan Hill.

Any recommendations on where to put the softer sprung excursion spring pack? Bottom or top of v codes?
