I have add a leaf springs on mine, don't remember what brand as it was 12yrs ago. I'm thinking of puting on just the x codes. I don't recall what code mine are without going out and looking at the door sticker, but you might need a helmet with the combo you contemplating.

it already does. and i dont like it. i have the srw blocks i want to install. they are alot taller than the drw's. my fear is that it'll be too high in the rear, so i went out and found some xcodes out of a f450

Not trying to hyjack here but can someone tell me what the different letter codes mean? My door sticker is gone & I had to replace my rear springs because one side was busted. Didn't order from the parts store using a letter code, described them & they got me the exact same thing. All I know is they have 7 leaf's & are rated for 4400 lbs. I'm kicking myself now wishing I would of done more research because these seem WAY too stiff for my setup. I weigh 230 & can jump on the rear bumper & the truck doesn't even budge!

Steve at Tousley Ford has said every-so-often he get's lucky and is able to ID a springs using those numbers.
C-codes: 4300 (Excursion V10 Cyl)
D-codes: 4700 (Excursion PSD V8)
S-codes: 4000 (250/350's)
T-codes: 4400 (250/350's)
U-codes: 4800 (250/350's)
V-codes: 5200 (250/350's)
W-codes: 5600 (Possibly only found on 450's)
X-codes: 6000 (snow plow prep package)
Those are front leaf springs only.

I haven't confirmed the info below, but here is some rear spring capacity info I found a few years ago.
Rear spring codes:
A = F-250 & Excursion (6,084 lbs)
B = F-350 SRW (6,830 lbs)
C = F-350 DRW (8,250 lbs)

all my buddies have suspension work done to their rigs yet none of them could tell you what they paid for(more into what they tow than what they use to tow it).tow rigs not daily drivers, to each's own.
