Default Shock Question

Question:

I have a 2020 without Z51 or mag ride. If i find a set of Z51 shocks, can i take the springs from my non Z51 shocks and use them on the Z51 shocks?

TIA

The shock/spring combo is tuned as a system. Mixing and matching is not the best idea. Engineers tuned the pair to be stable and perform. When you start mixing and matching the results can be unpredictable.
