Rear spring advise

Post by Blacklab467 »

I am in the process of ordering new rear springs to replace my rusty ones before they break. The IPD website lists several options for springs marked: Code 78, 16, 68 etc and also "heavy duty" springs. I cannot find any codes or markings on my old ones. Is it possible to get this information from the VIN?
