Are these v code springs?

I'm trying to varify if these springs I have are V code for an rsk swap I'm getting ready to do. I've looked these numbers up but it's not to clear. Any idea?

I have not seen a successfull cross reference of the stamped leaf spring part numbers to the letter "code" weight rating.

Knowing (which implies a lot of confidence) the vehicle they came from and also the VIN sticker spring code of that vehicle seems to be the most common decryption method.

I chose to buy new aftermarket springs made to OEM specs because of this.

Those are from a Superduty 4x4? What year? Any chance you can get a look at the VIN sticker on donor's driver's side door?

Posting the picture like you did, maybe you have already bough them? The worst thing is they are too stiff or too soft. (I know none of this answers your question though.)

Thanks for the insight. I know what you mean.. No vin availible though, I wish I had it but the cab was gone. All I know is it was from a 03' 4x4 superduty. Keeping my fingers crossed and hope for the best. Although I may swing by the dealership to see what they can dig up.

If you decide to buy, so that you are %100 of what you have, call Junior ATSsprings.com, you might be surprised at the price.
