Hi all, I've been ghosting you for a while, and decided it's time to say hello. I'm a regular on the
http://www.coloradopowerstrokeclub.com/
forums, but this is my first post here.
I've been doing a lot of reading on the SD spring addition to the OBS trucks, and I'm ready to add a set to mine.
I already have the SKY 3.5" RS kit with stock springs. It helped the ride a little, but not enough.
I picked up a set of SD springs from a 2003 1 ton with a 6.0L.
My questions are in reference to my spring codes being different from the code combination listed on the post containing spring rates.
My front springs have:
2C34 ADB
R 062 3
The R references a 3600# while the ADB coincides with the V code which has a 5200# rate.
so my questions are. . . .
Do I have 3600# or 5200# spring rate?
and if it's 3600#-
Is the 6.0L engine that much lighter than the 7.3L that they can use that much of a softer spring?
Is a 3600# spirng too soft for my truck?
thanks for all your fantastic posts. You all provide a wealth of information.
Chris.
Here's the post I'm referring to.
