rear leaf spring codes

Does anyone know the difference between rear leaf codes A and V ? Its a 93 f250. Spring code on door sticker is 6f. Junkyard has 5 leaf springs from obs fords but have both A & V codes, wasn't sure what the difference was. The only one left in a truck was a 8600 gcvw truck but corner of door sticker was gone so I couldn't see spring codes.

This may help:
A= E4TA-5560-SA
V= F2TA-5560-YA

6F:
6 = Front = F1TA-5560-MA
F = Rear = E7TA-5560-FA

I haven't see a V code for the rear, only the front.

V front leafs are rated at 5,200 pounds

B rear leafs are rated 6,830 pounds

Thanks for the input. Is there any difference between the 2? The A & V ?

1980 - 1996 F150 / 1980 - 1997 F250, F350 rear leaf spring, 5(4/1) leaf, 2810 lbs capacity

This is what's on the truck now , the junkyard has one identical in all measurements. Came off an 89 250 4wd. According to their computer it's an A code, also shows a V available. They don't know the difference & they look the same. Was also surprised to see, according to the spring web site there is less than 300 pounds difference in weight ratings by going to a 6 leaf setup.
