Question Front Springs

Any buddy know the color marking of front springs on a F-250 4X4 ?

I have two sets

one is orange / blue / yellow

The other is gray / brown

I think it is weight capacity

You can look at the sticker that's on the driver's side door jamb, look for "FRONT GAWR" the number by it will tell you what springs you have.

Or by "SPR" it will give you the spring codes.

I think you'd only gain 3/4" of height or so.

What year is your truck?

Did it come with the alignment cams to correct caster?

It doesn't appear that the Fabtech includes anything to correct the caster.

If you get poor handling, more wandering and any "death wobble" especially with any increased height by swapping coils you'll need to get some cams to give you more positive caster to correct that.

I run the cams that Icon uses with their 2.5" leveling system on my stock height 07 with 7000lb coils for better handling.

Springs

Right out of a Ford F-250 Workshop Manul

Front Springs #

CODE R = F81A-5310-ABB 3600 Lb

CODE S = F81A-5310-ACB 4000 Lb

CODE T = F81A-5310-ADB 4400 Lb

CODE U = F81A-5310-AEB 4800 Lb

CODE V = F81A-5310-AFB 5200 Lb

CODE W = F81A-5310-AGA 5600 Lb

CODE X = F81A-5310-AHA 6000 Lb

My Vehicle Certification Label

FRONT GAWR 5200 Lb

But the SPR CODE is TT CC

AND T is F81A-5310-ADB 4400 Lb

But the # on the spring is F81A-5310-AEB 4800 Lb

This is why I was looking for the coloer code..
