Front and rear spring code decoding help

I read through dozens of pages of spring threads. From what I saw Ford no longer published the spring rates but would someone be able to tell me what C 7 means? Possibly an old chart/ table would be the same spring? I saw a thread with the rear code 7 but it only listed the part number and no other information.

Did you try these sites?

https://www.autoandtrucksprings.com/...tr=spring+code

https://www.sdtrucksprings.com/ford-...-code-listings

Edit: I ended up calling ATS directly, they helped me sort all my questions out, they were really knowledgeable.

I did but was hoping to confirm what I saw. I can’t get the ATS site to pull up any spring code info. The SD site shows 1,655# as the replacement. Sent ATS an email. I bought rear springs from them for the Bronco II.

I discovered the springs were broken all the way through on both sides after I bought the truck. I put 1,700# springs on it from JBG but they lifted the rear a couple inches over stock. That didn’t matter since I also raised the front for the plow. I’m thinking about removing the plow and going back to stock.
