Gday can i put all my springs and shocks from my lwb wagon in to a shorty? do shorty mavricks come in a 5 seater with the back seat so it seats 3? how hard is it to change a 4.2 petrol shorty to a 4.2 oiler?

Just remember the rear springs are designed to carry the weight of the wagon and will surely ride higher and harder than SWB springs. My mate had wagon springs in his with 30mm coil spacers in the front to compensate. Rode like on leaf springs too, he pulled em out and put in SWB ones and never looked back.

we did it over a weekend to a mates last year. had both cars next to each other swapped it straight over, petrol auto to diesel manual. hardest part was the wiring.
