the .359 refers to the diameter of the spring. the bigger the diameter, the stiffer the spring. So the .375's are the stiffest of the bunch. The .359's were stock.

I make this change on mine, and it helps. But when the snow builds up and freezes inside the loops of the springs they still seem to sag.
I started pumping grease inside the coils on the springs and it seemed to lessen the sag over my buddies sled who also went to the larger springs.

The best solution I think is to go to the titanium round springs with the variable rate blocks. It is expensive but they definatly work better than the stock style springs.
Good luck, I didn't buy the expensive ones but when they sag down 4" just sitting there when the snow is deep it can really piss you off.
