GU (ute) springs in GQ SWB?

[babymav]

Just a quick question, my mate has a near new set of springs out of a GU ute and the springs in my swb maverick have sagged BAD, wondering if they are suitable for change over? The rear springs look to be very heavy duty?

Another mate said they should be right, might just give a "stiffer" ride.

They will fit, and your other mate is probalby right... they are designed for weight carrying, so in a shorty, would suck

hmmm thanks for the quick reply....umm so ya reckon put em in and see how they ride? Or not worth the work/time, buy a set for a shorty?

why would you bother, springs are $100pr or not much more.. or the 239040239480238i sets in the forsale section weekl would be a better option

[babymav]

Really? I thought they were dearer than that....i'll have a looksy.

If ya getting them for free it can't hurt to try them...the worst that can happen are that they are sh$t and you take them out.

Whack them in and go for a drive. Should only take an hour to put them in. Drop your shocks off, jack the rear up throw some jack stands under the shortys, yank the old coils out and whack the ute ones in.

I tried my mates GU wagon OE gear in mine before I threw the 4" lift in. It was *ok for a few weeks, much better than the broke ass crap I had in it.

THANKS FOR THAT CHAMP! i'm thinking do that. they are for free and near brand new, what i got to lose really.

Gee Bogged is showing his age again.
$150 a pair for new coils. I think those coils will work out fine as long as you install a gas tank, drawers, put your fridge in the back and make up a rear bar with 2 35's hanging off it.

No harm in trying though.

Hahahaha....i got the gas tank

[Suspension Stuff]

haha those gas tanks do weigh heaps so normal LWB rear coils would suit you. I don't know about the coils your mate has but it would definately be worth a try now.
