actual leaf spring rates(not codes)

[gumby]

i am tryin to find some hard numbers on the rates of the leafs used in the explorers. searchin here i found the most common codes for the explorer rear leafs are F,H,and L. what i am lookin for is information like this:

Here's a summary of the leaf springs that were listed for Rangers in 2003. Other late model[Rangers] are probably similar:

combined rating / pack thickness at axle pad / number of leaves / door code

2750 lb / 1.82" / 4 / code C
2600 lb / 1.64" / 4 / code K
2550 lb / 1.60" / 4 / code ?

All leaf packs are 56.5" x 2.5"

does anyone have this information handy?

Bump. . .
I was just searching to see what my rear leaf spring rates were and found this.

So, does anyone have any info?

Thanks,
That's a great link with tons of info. . .but I've read it twice and can't find anywhere where he mentions the stock explorer spring rate.

And I read the stickies and search before I post.
