2008 F350 front coil spring codes
Hello all and thanks in advance. I recently bought a 2008 F350 cab and chassis with a v10. Sometime this summer it will get a 12v cummins so I am preparing. I know I want a 2.5-3.5 inch leveling kit but I'm trying to decide if I want to use spacers or replacement coils. I also need springs that will hold up to my 12v cummins, a moose masher, a heavy flatbed and plenty of other add-ons. My spring code is cchh with a 6000 front gvw and a 7500 rear gvw. Does anyone know a list of the coil spring codes and what what they are rated? I also would be interested in the ratings on the rear.
Thanks again, Ross

since you have the 6k front coils anyways thats the biggest Ford offers, if not your going to have to get a custom set of coild made with a 7k payload
put your truck info in and a list will appear, they offer coil springs with 3k over the stock 6k spring

A Cummins weighs in at around 1150 pounds. A 6.4L Power Stroke (which the front suspension was designed to support) runs about 1130 pounds.
You really do not need heavier springs.

Ford sells 6.5k and 7k coil springs over the counter, they came on some f450/550s. I run a 6.0 cast iron pig and a full front end replacement with a front axle weight of almost 5k and my stock 6k coils are absolutely fine. Almost too stiff still, they're stout.
But the D60 is still a 6k axle and nothing will fix that on paper. Plus anything taller than 3" of lift I going to start needing radius arm brackets to fix caster angle, plus supporting steering changes, you can't just shove 3.5" spacers in. Find 4" lift springs from a diesel lift kit to get the height, heavier stock springs will reduce sag Under load mainly, lift height from them is incidental.
