Help with Front Spring Rate

Hey all, done much searching both here and online elsewhere and am finding conflicting info on front spring rates. Truck is a 1990 F250 4x4, 460. Spring code is 7. Finding that spring code listed in both 2755# and 3486# ratings. Does anybody have a definitive answer?

Thanks Much.

As I read their information, it appears that 2755 is the stock rating for normal use. The 3486 is heavy hauling and construction type use. I have spoken with General Spring in the past and they are very helpful. If you have further concerns about the difference, I would give them a call. Hope that helps. Sandy

Here is the place I go for replacement springs. They have a spring chart for codes and a video on how to read the code to get the correct number.
