Hi guys. Help me in this matter. What is the difference between these leaf springs in addition to a load of 1,100 and 1,250 pounds and additional brackets?

The leaf spring thickness. First one is thicker at 1-7/8" than the the second at 1-1/2". This creates a stiffer spring which can support more weight, but may decrease the ride quality.

Thanks! I thought so, but we, on the Russian-language site, have slight contradictions regarding these leaf springs
