What did they come off of? Part numbers can be a hit and miss.

A 4x4 350 I think. I'll find out for sure. They were purchased as backups for a friends truck. Never used them and sold the truck. He rattled off the correct prefix and base but couldn't remember the exact suffix. I'll know for sure on Saturday. May just buy them anyway for resale.

Part numbers are exact. But I think you're thinking of the stamped numbers on the springs, which are not part numbers.

Guys, Im looking at front hubs on Amazon. they say they are Timken and they are only $171 each. Link:
Is this too good to be true? I need to replace them and not wanting to pay $300 a piece, this seems valid.
Thoughts? Warnings??

Ok, heres the story on the springs.
The number he gave me is the one stamped into the leaf: 2C34-ADB.
Im thinking that means very little or nothing.
The application is: 2003 F350 Crew cab, 6.0L. Bought used not sure if it had snow plow package or not. Does not own truck anymore. Im going to see if he has the VIN so I can run OTIS on it for details. Yes, I can do that.
Are these ok for my EX??...pending snow plow prep verification that is.

If the trunk did have the snowplow package then it came with at least W/B codes. The W codes are just a litte stiffer then V codes but softer then X codes.

The hard part with springs is that without the door pillar sticker that contains the spring codes, you don't really know what you're buying. I'm going through that right now too. There were a number of combinations of springs. If you don't know the codes, you'll have to roll the dice and install them and see how your rig sits and make adjustments with front shackles or rear blocks or whatever. $100 sounds good for the mystery springs from what I've been finding.
