what is the modded b code part numbers?


Also would it be wise to put new B springs on or go with a new spring pack to match the front?

You will want to read the steering wander thread or even this entire thread. There are not part numbers for a modded B. You purchase the B codes and then either mod them yourself or have someone do it for you.

Are you going to mod the B's ? The B's and the 4 inch blocks are going to really raise your rear end. Are you going to do the work yourself? Where at in MI are you? Down in southern MI myself close to IN border.

This has been covered many, many times. And in fact, if you were to go to the very first post in this very thread, you would get your answers, with pictures and directions on how to mod the B's, no less.

The title of this thread is kind of a dead give-away. It's a picture tutorial on HOW TO MOD A B CODE SPRING.

So, for the third time, please see the first post in this thread.

Nice thread Robert......I haven't been online much lately, between back surgery and the house remodeling there hasn't been enough hours in the day. But I'm feeling the FTE pull

what I am totally confused about is I am taking the stock springs off the excursion and ordered new B Springs for the rear and V's for the front..

Where do I get the extra springs to add to the B Spring that is what I am totally confused on.

Not to sound completely sarcastic....

Go to here (like Stewart said): https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post11391676

Scroll to here: MODDING THE B CODE SPRINGS: and then read every word. You will pull the old pack apart and put a couple of leaf's in the new Modded B pack.

You take one spring off of the old springs you take off the truck
