Need help with P-code rear springs
I just got a set of VP springs off a truck with 102k miles. Got them for $150. The V swap is relatively simple. I'm wondering what you guys would recommend for the P springs.
The part # is 3C34-5A975-CB. I've read that they are rated at 4400 lbs each. Pretty heavy duty. I'd like to have a level stance and am basically wondering:
1. Will they work on the Ex?
2. Should I modify them in any way?
Thanks guys. The Ford parts guy didn't have any details besides confirming that they were p-codes.

After doing more research,
It appears that the P's are pretty much identical to the P's and are rated at 6830. If that is true, I should just modify them like everyone does with the B's.
Can anyone confirm this? Ford couldn't tell me.
Here is a pic of them:

Crunk, I looked everywhere on my computer. I coulda swore I had saved info on the P spring at one time, but I couldn't find anything.
I did some digging around and turned up the same info. Probably the same posts you found.
Do you have the VIN of the truck you got the springs off of?

I am not a spring expert by any stretch of the imagination but I would think that it would really come down to what you want to accomplish. I am currently in the process of doing x codes with 2 inch hangers and modded b code's with a 4 inch block, in hopes that rear will remain a little higher. With modded b's (4inch block) vs. factory g codes, I went from 39.5 to 42.5 inches from the ground to fender well. The other question I would ask is do you need a really heavy duty spring for the rear? If not, I would be more concerned with ride height and comfort. Someone please correct me if I am out in left field. After reading your post again, I see that you want to be level.

The problem that I'm having is I'm finding conflicting information. One source says they are rated at 8800 lbs another says 6830. The spring package on the vin is VP. I feel like a v and a 8800# rear is an odd combo to be true. Wouldn't they put the u or x's up front?
If it helps, it was a diesel 4x4, 4 door with the lariat interior
