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

From my experience. VU Low IRS springs sat at standard height in a VS IRS sedan. Hope this helps.

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..

Oh really...? I wouldnt have added "Hope this helps" if i didnt read this post or that it was IRS...

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