    i bought a vy spack ute and the previous owner was a fata** or something and the drivers side is lower. if i put my stock springs from a vz sedan would it be the same as the utes normal height?

    The utes definitely have IRS, but are different springs to Sedan.

    IRS= Independant Rear Suspension...

    Nah probly not, ask a local suspension joint if they are the same?.. they might know a bit more,

    You dont need lowered ones - its already lowered on one side! Just get the 4''grinder out and knock a coil off the passenger side.. lmao!
    Just joking, dont really do it..

    Air bags like load assist, for the rears, or the fully sick braa kind??

    I'm sure the utes have their own heavier duty spring settings for both front and rear. If the factory just upgraded the rear springs on utes, the suspension would be mismatched and handling would be affected adversely. As the rear springs are stiffer to take a load, the fronts would be slightly firmer than a sedan to ensure the handling was balanced.

    Putting sedan springs in would mean the ute wouldn't be worth much as a load carrier. That's assuming the rears would even fit - I suspect the utes would be shorter and stiffer and the sedan springs might not fit.

    I honestly don't know. Try it and see what it's like - you might find they fit both ends and you end up with a soft riding ute, if that's what you're after.
