Help identify spring code

I have come across some used springs on a F250 and F350.

F250 numbers on spring.
IC 34 CC
RPN2141

F350
YC35 AMC
RPN2270
I believe these are V code springs.

Looking to change my springs on my 2000 Ford Excursion 7.3L

Are the door jamb stickers that list the spring codes still on those trucks?

No stickers

No stickers. Just the springs.

What have folks said that have found used V & B code springs on how they ride ? I am guessing it depends on how "used" and how you determine that ? It seems like a lot of effort/time to swap out the springs for an unknown used spring set ?

I have installed my used V and modded B from the local salvage yard. I believe the truck had 300k plus miles on them. I can tell you they are way better than the stock EX and I love the ride. Just do it!

I believe I was given a set of U fronts and A rears off a F350? Does definitely seem better. Over the years, feels like it has gone softer. Not sure how to check at this point or what the next step is. Maybe just get a set of springs and R&R? Supposedly the VB combination is best.

Would it be best to get OEM or go to a spring shop and say "Please put V code fronts and B code rear."?
