    Default Sedan springs into Ute

    Hey guys got to get my ute road worthy and needs its ass raised up in the air
    Theres a wrecker in town but hardly have utes there only sedans and wagons.

    Its a live axle one so I was wondering if say stock springs out of a vn,vp,vr sedan/wagon will fit in the ute and raise it up?

    Any answers would be grateful

    Its live axle..

    Trayner.. how low is it? Most places ive come across dont check height, its a quick lights and horn check, brake test, tyre tread and front wheel bearings, then $35 later and its all cool..

    As for the 7mm, remove some weight. Drive around on 2 fifths of #### all fuel. Might just make it legal.
