Front Spring Part # vs Code - Diesel Forum

therabbittree · 04-16-2009, 11:08 AM

Ok, I've just been searching here for spring s codes that match these part #'s for front springs.

F81AADD and #RPN1128 was stamped under the other #.

I am hoping these are snow plow prep springs x codes or similar, as they came froma 1999 F250 XL 4x4 work truck with 6spd and v10 and plow.
I have done sesarches read tons of threads in the searchs for front springs, spring codes, part # etc etc. I also have a 2 vol set of the 2000 ford superduty work shop manual and I can't find different spring part #s in the manual either. The door sticker was removed on this truck in the junk yard..so the sticker is no help. I have the Vin #1FTNF21S5XEA96298
Truck had 79k on it
Here are pictures.

snow plow ? spring and stock 5.4 gasser excursion spring

part # front springs

are the plastic shim / spacers that go on thearound the center bolt available separately?

Thanks
Deo

I have V codes on my truck. I'll post the code in the morning (don't have my truck with me today)

Thanks!!!

Made it home earlier than expected.

The numbers stamped on the bottom of my front springs are-

3 C34 ADA
R 266 3

These were out of a 2003 F350 CC 4x4 and the spring code on the door
was V. Hope it helps!

I don't know why Ford changed the numbers around so much from year-to-year. It's very likely that your junk yard springs are V codes. The one thing that seems to be consistent in the 99-04 models was the V codes all seem to have had 'AD' in the stamped numbers, and the 99 model years were split like that on the ends. You may want to send a pm to Caryt and Smokeywren, they both know quite a bit about springs and might be able to help.

yeah I am not sure why they have two different part # s for something the stamped # and the part # .. kinda confusing.. I'm new to fords..vw and dodge don't do that. haha.
I did PM Caryt regarding the stamped # ..hopefully your right and they are early '99 V codes. ha.. It would save me some time and $ etc. I did take apart the B Code set and modified them tonight..it went pretty easy the G code center bolt worked nice, as the B code center bolt had to be cut off it would not loosen up argh..
Thanks

I finally had time to check my U code fronts (at least that what I think they are). They supposedly are from a 2003 F250, with U on the door code.
