Fronts will be the same, the rears won't.

what?...how so?...the rear springs fit, so do the shocks...
but they sit a tad higher...............

springs and shocks are same. just a lil higher
what wont fit?...

From what i understand is that wagons have different load ratings on the rear so tuffer springs and shocks

yeah, but they'll still swap over..

our VN is running Wagon HD springs.... only thing is when i ran sedan springs in the wagon it handled like a pig...

Well, my reasoning was that if they were the same, why would King Springs make a set for the sedan and a set for the wagon? They might fit, but they're not being used for what they were intended for.

irs sedan and wagons dont have irs?

if the sedan is live axle, the springs will fit, but shocks are different. they mount in different spots and are different lengths.

if the sedan is irs, nothing will fit.

oh yeah i get you.....

but...

they will fit....

Wagons use "Heavy Duty" springs to compensate for the heavier loads intended (same a Ute)...

it isnt advisable to use sedan springs in a wagon (unless HD)

but i know many people that run wagon springs in their sedans...

Thought wagons and utes had the same suspension.

Hit the nail on the head..... but the shocks do fit... ive done it..
