I haven't ever had any hopping with this setup. This is a very smooth ride, even on pot hole riddled roads. I should note my truck is a 2wd (don't know if that matters to you)

I believe the A is the 3500 lb Spring. The 2nd letter may be the Arch. I believe the base shortbed regular cab 3.5 Ti-VCT at 4050 Curb Weight and 6010 GVWR will have the 3500 lb Springs with the lowest arch.

Any idea where this can be confirmed and/or difference in arch height between the G and H?

Okay, so it's not the Arch.

"Exactly the same" confuses me though.
Why assign a new Eng. # to a part that hasn't been revised?

Hope it works for you. I have the lighter springs (6500 GVWR with 3300 GAWR) and haven't had any real complaint about the ride but then the only other 15+ I spend time in is a 7050 GVWR but it's 300 lb heavier and holds 83 lb more fuel and has a 157 WB which means it's not really comparable. If anything I think it rides smoother but that may be the wheelbase.

How did this work out for you? Do you have the part number of the springs?
