Feature Codes - Heavy Duty Front Susp

I have searched and have not found the definition of feature codes listed on my build sheet. The one I am most interested in figuring out is the code DYAAF - Heavy Duty Front Suspension. Does anyone know what that actually means? I.e. spring rates, ride height....???? I find it kind of frustrating that Ford seems to provide little info with some of these codes. Does anyone have an idea where I can look to figure this out?

HD is one selection higher than standard spring. So it most likely will be the 5600lb capacity front spring. I'd personally order the snowplow/camper option if it were me

My spring codes are VVPP - I saw a post that showed "V" code as 4800#. If that is correct what is HD about the front suspension? Maybe the build list is wrong. Also, what rating is code "P".

Ford has 4800lb, 5600lb and 6k front springs. The HD package will give you the 5600lb and snow prep gives you 6k

Thanks for the info! It does explain why some roads and bumps make my kidney's bleed.

That's bad shocks plus too much air in your tires not the hd springs

The shocks are a week old, Monroe Gas-Magnum, and the fronts at 70psi. Unfortunately the tire pressure nanny kicks in if I go any lower. I just towed the trailer for the first time and it settles the suspension down pretty good but the crappy Colorado roads we have still make for some occasional bone jarring.
