Spring Code?

I found a chart on here somewhere a while back that broke down the spring codes but I can't find it now. I've got a code VVLL for springs. What does that mean?

I've seen a chart before looking at the differences between front spring ratings specific to Super Duties between snow plow pkg, heavy service, camper pkg, and standard and the codes related to each, but I can't remember where I saw it. Thought it was here but can't find it again here or via Google

VVLL is not a front spring code, at least not a modern one. Try this link Buy 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty Parts | FordParts.com. If the link works, set the items per page to 75 and less than halfway down you will see all the listings for the front springs and it tells you the weight rating and code for each one.

Great thanks. VVLL is the entire spring code. left front, right front, left rear, right rear. V is the code for the front spring. L is the code for the rear spring.

A=7000 lbs
B=6500 lbs
C=6000 lbs
D=5600 lbs
T=5200 lbs
V=4800 lbs
W=4400 lbs
X=4000 lbs

I saw in another post where you were looking to get the 6000 lb springs to add height. I don't think you are going to be satisfied with the ride of a 6000 lb spring on a gas truck. My front axle weight as daily driven is around 5200 lbs and the ride is no dream with 5600 lb springs. To offer some ride height perspective, the difference between 5600 lb springs and 6000 lb springs on a diesel is less than 1". I would definitely recommend a 1" bottom spacer over increased spring rate for both ride quality and cost savings. It simply isn't worthwhile to increase spring rate to gain ride height unless you have no preference for a smooth ride.

Right. I went with V code front on the gasser and will add a spring spacer to level the truck out but still have a rake being an F-350. My current diesel has the heavy service front with C code springs. My first 2011 diesel had D codes and rode noticeably smoother than the C code.
