I see no reason to think that a ute would not also have this "load sensing valve" fitted.
Just checked the manual John and it does not mention "except utility" so it should have same setup.

the spring has to be level when the vehical is at rest.
what ever spring lift you have , make a plate the same length and space up the bracket which holds the spring

i posted this else where. remove the bolt and replace it with all thread and 3 nyloc nuts. one tho hold the thread and one either side of the lever. put a temporary plate as high as your lift and see where the spring pulls to and adjust the nuts accordingly, then remove the spring and plate. use this as a starting point and adjust as you go
cheers bru
