Code on my rear leaf springs

I was under my 2004 Excursion today, getting ready to install my Hellwig anti-sway bar and I saw the following numbers on the rear passenger side spring: R089 (may be R069) 4 3C60 BA. The U-bolts on the axle look relatively new and I was wondering if the springs that I currently have on there might already be B codes? I didn't know if that is what the BA suffix meant or not. There are 6 leaves on them (actually 6 full leaves and 1 half leaf at the bottom with a bumper on the end towards the front), if that means anything. Thanks.

Sounds like a factory setup.

It does sound like the stock setup with that leaf count and bottom half leaf. Check out this thread and do some measuring on your rig to determine where your suspension currently sits. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...easurents.html
