Hey Monsta

Big Green 99 f-250 4x4

I ran out and checked the door jam, The front gvwr is 4000lbs. I think the code is 1814kg. It was right below the 4000lbs part.

Hey Monsta

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-Jan-02 AT 09:42 AM (EST)]You should have on the label, a code under "SPR".

I believe that you have "S" code springs. An upgrade to the "V" 4800lb. or the "X" 5200lb spring should give you the height that you are looking for.

Hey Monsta

I think your codes are off by a couple of ranges...

The "V" code is 5200 lbs.
The "X" code is 6000 lbs.

There is also a "W" code at- you guessed it- 5600 lbs! ;-)

The reason you can't always tell what springs you have by FAWR is because the axle itself only has a rating of 5200 lbs. So it, not the springs, becomes the limiting factor once you get to the "V" code.

Hey Monsta

Yup NoMo you're right, again. My bad. I meant to say "U" and "V", respectively. I was reading while typing and mixed 'em up. Thanks for the correction.
