    Maybe fit sedan springs to it?

    How many k's?

    It should be as smooth a ride as a VS sedan at least...ours felt like a taxi when we first got it.

    But being a ute it's probably had a pretty rugged working life - it didn't take us long to completely rebush it while at the same time replacing the shocks and springs with something a bit firmer.

    Our choice is KYB shocks and struts coupled with Kings Low springs.

    I couldn't be happier - the ride is still smooth as, and it scuttles round corners like a crab - probably time to get some new rubber down there...

    Cheers

    And drop the tyre air pressures down to the minimum recommended. You may be able to fit passenger car tyres which ride softer instead of light truck tyres which are fitted as standard (I think).
