Spring codes ???

I am looking for some "V" and "B" code springs for the EX. How is the best way to determine which spring codes they are. I know they are not plainly stamped on the spring. Isn't there a stamp that can be compared to a chart to determine this?
Does anybody have that chart?

Are these the stamped on numbers I am looking for on the spring?

Front V code springs: Part #2C3Z-5310-HA
Rear B code springs: Part #3C3Z-5560-CB


If so, thanks Stewart.
I found it here:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...-finished.html


Also what is a decent price for them?

I think someone was able to decode the numbers stamped on the springs, but I don't remember anything about the thread, sorry!

I would like to know what mine are, I put them on and got about 2" lift front and rear and it rides great. The Codes don't look like any others I've seen posted here. The truck that they came off was sold but I was told it was a 2005 6.0 4x4.
Front 2C34 ADA
R268 1
Rear RPN 0395
5C34 CE Any help would satisfy my curiosity. Thanks in advance.

OK so the p/n is not stamped on the springs. Can someone decode the stamp on the spring for me?
I need to know what to look for when buying used springs.

The part numbers should be on the springs but the codes are in the door jam of the donor truck. seems tough to find out codes from part numbers.

Actually the part # is not on the spring just some type of code.
Stewart posted his P/N's on another thread that is where I got them from and as shown above in the pics the # on the spring is a code.


Can anybody decifer these codes?

No way the springs came off of an 05. 05s have coil springs on the front. Don't know about the rear ones though.

Pulled this off another thread a while back-

2003 manual
Front Springs — F-Series
B — F81A-5310-EA
C — F81A-5310-EA
D — F81A-5310-EA
E — F81A-5310-EA
F — F81A-5310-FA
G — F81A-5310-GA
H — F81A-5310-HA
I — F81A-5310-RA
J — F81A-5310-JA
K — F81A-5310-KA
R — 2C34-5310-AAB, 3,600 lb.
S — 2C34-5310-AAB, 4,000 lb.
T — 2C34-5310-ABB, 4,400 lb.
U — 2C34-5310-ACB, 4,800 lb.
V — 2C34-5310-ADB, 5,200 lb.
W — 2C34-5310-AEA, 5,600 lb.
X — 2C34-5310-AFA, 6,000 lb.
Y — 2C34-5310-VA
Z — 2C34-5310-WA

It seems that the numbers can vary a bit, but the last three alpha characters seem to be consistent.

AC = U code
AD = V code
AE = W code
AF = X code

My V codes are stamped
3 C34 ADA

But I've seen 2 C34 ADB, 3 C34 ADB, 2 C34 ADA... not sure why.

Hmm, rear springs from the 05-07 do fit on Excursions then. Learned something new.

Actually I used the '04 springs in the rear also. When I bought them the last small spring in the pack was missing so I took that one off the '05 pack and installed them that way but I do believe they are the same. The '04's were brand new takeoffs so I went with them. I still have the rear '05 setup with the small spring missing. If someone wants to pick them up in S.E. Florida I would take any reasonable offer. I also have a 30k set of "05 Excursion Diesel Springs that the same offer applies.
