I’m reaching out to see if anyone can help me decipher the Ford spring code chart. I’ve been digging into the specifics for my Ford truck and I’m having a bit of a tough time. I’m especially interested in understanding:

What the Codes Mean

I’ve come across various codes on the leaf springs, but they seem to vary by model year and type. If anyone could explain how to read these codes or point me to a detailed resource, that would be super helpful!

Matching Springs to My Model

I’ve got a 2010 Ford F-150, and I’m looking to replace the rear leaf springs. What should I be looking for in the spring code? Are there any specific codes that are known to work with my model, or is it just a matter of matching them up individually?

Capacity and Performance

Lastly, does anyone know where to find a capacity chart? I want to make sure I’m selecting the right springs for towing without compromising performance. If anyone has experience with spring codes and capacities for Ford trucks, I’d love to hear your insights!

Thanks in advance for any advice or resources you can share. It’s been a bit frustrating, but I’m hopeful this community can help me out!
