No, X codes would be 3000lbs each for a 6000lb set.

First Post!

They are X codes according to the SRI number. 43-818 corresponds to x code in the SRI book posted in the tech folder. But, in my reading on the site, I guess Ford's x codes are heavier duty. Quality will depend on the manufacturer. I had a good experience with Mercer Spring here in Trenton. Holding up well and I have a normal rake with ATS C mod rears. 43-818 is probably in between X code and V code fronts and would be closer to X code.

The nice part of the 43-818 is that I didn't need a new track bar. That might explain why some have "x" codes and don't need a new track bar while others who have X codes need a new track bar.

From my research, the springs are between the X and springs. I think I'll pass.
