explain the v/c/b spring thing.
I read the tech pages and it is just swapping out certain leafs? can you just run the truck springs and forget about swapping out individuals?
My springs are toast and I need to lift it a bit more to stop rubbing when I turn so I am just trying to figure it all out. I am wanting smoother riding truck so I am open to suggestions.
Looking for a 6-8" so not sure if the coded springs even matter.

Across the board it's a full pack swap. The B-mod involves adding the lower two springs from the Excursion pack to the bottom of the B's to replace the overload leaf which can cause issues with the rear A/C lines IIRC.
If you want 6-8", you're looking at the wrong application unless you want to run full hangers and big blocks.

Thats the info I needed.
I want to lift but I wasn't sure if I wanted to use the truck springs or excursion springs and what all the codes are.
I will just look for a quality lift.
Thanks again for clearing that up

FWIW, any SuperDuty lift will net you 2" more lift on the Excursion, so a SD 4" will be 6, 6" will be 8, etc.
I'd stick to a 4" SuperDuty as the higher lift tends to mean more aggressively arched springs, which in turn don't ride as smoothly.

okay. SO still buy superduty springs? I am good with that. any brand more popular than others? I heard Donahoe is now Icon. Do they still make a good spring? I liked Deaver springs in the past. Just want a smooth ride and a little more height.
Anything extra needed for running superduty springs or is it bolt on stuff.

Call Junior at ATS. He can set you up with springs and hardware at a nice price.
Go with the SD springs, blocks and hangers. There is plenty of info in the tech folder.
X codes are the heaviest you can go on the front. The back is wide open on options.
