'00 F250 SC SB V10: Spring Code
I am an Excursion owner hoping to do the famous spring swap: my CG code to the superior VB code superduty springs. I have acquired a set of take offs from a '00 F250 4x4 SC SB V10. I am doubting they are the VB codes, but hopeful they are at least a step or two up from the mushy CG codes I have now. There are some numbers stamped on the springs, but I understand these are casting numbers that are of no help. I have no other information about the truck other than it had a tow package. Any chance owners of the aboved mentioned trucks could give me an idea about what I might have. I am hoping someone could check the spring code in their door jamb and let me know. Thank you in advance. FTE has been an incredible source of information

Not that it will tell you what you got but:
I have "TA" spring-code on my '01 F250 SC SB 4x4 w/V10. The only reason I even have the T's in front was the heavy-service suspension upgrade which brings the front springs up a level, and adds the overloads in the back.
"V" in front would be two steps up from the ones I currently have. Which would be snow-plow package for a gasser (maybe), a diesel, or some other REALLY heavy-duty suspension package if it exists.
I seriously do not think you have the "V" front springs. Did the backs come with overloads?
On an even better note, a leveling kit (single leaf) or going to a good leaf-spring shop, you can add a leaf (or two) ahead of time.

Thanks krewat,
No overloads on the rear springs. The former owner said he took the "bottom, straight looking leaf" out to apply to his lift springs. He no longer has the truck, but I understand it was a pretty basic other than the above mentioned. What I have is a left over pack with only 4 leaves. I understand stock has at least 5 leaves??
Yes, I agree, I don't think I have the V's either. The whole debate is whether or not these freebies are worth putting on. I'd hate to do all the work and find out I don't have much of an improvement in the ride. I may be better off doing as you said, going to a spring shop or holding out until I can get a hold of what I am really after. Maybe more owners will chime in with what they have.
Thanks Much
