Need help choosing leaf spring load (GMCk10)

Vehicle: 69 GMC 1/2 ton pickup 4WD

The old springs are sagging bad and was looking at replacement springs. The manuf. lists choices based on "load", such as:
Front leaves/load; 1/400, 2/900, 3/1100
Rear leaves/load; 4/1900, 5/2350, 6/3390
What does this all mean, and how does a person choose the right one?
