2017+ 4WD front track bars

Anyone know what the difference is between the HC3Z-3B239-A and HC3Z-3B239-C track bars are? Both listed for a 2017 F250 4WD.

Part number -A shows listed for HD front suspension, production date 07/2016+
Part number -C shows listed w/o HD front suspension, M/Beam With Extended Axle (Fatboy), With Monobeam Suspension - Wide, production date 07/2016+

Curious what exactly the difference is between the two bars.... Looking in the aftermarket world they usually only have one for these trucks. Also don't really see Ford using two completely different, non-interchangeable track bars... Both are listed on Tasco's site, but on another site, it shows the -C as discontinued... wonder if ford had an issue with track bars (death wobble), and went from C to A use only?

And it looks like none of these bars come with the balljoint/tierod end like joint at the axle. Anyone know what part number that is? I think its the same as the lower balljoint (BC3Z-3050-C), can anyone confirm?

Could be 2 wheel drive vs 4 wheel drive or SRW vs DRW, or 250/350 vs 450/550.

Both show for 4WD, F250... Even 250 vs. 350 and SRW vs. DRW still should be the same... I could see 450/550 being different, but they are listed as for a 250.

I'm guessing the larger front coil springs are the HD setups. You'll want a longer track bar on the taller coils to keep the axle centered.
