What did you do to your jeep today?

I am looking at OME 93009 shocks and they do not fit the OME 2927 springs but supposedly both are for the Jeep Liberty. Super frustrating. The shocks have a spring perch that is a smaller diameter than the spring so they do not work together.

Mine is H&R but I've got some Mopar struts laying around

Thank you for the offer. I have a set of Mopars I got from the junkyard. The OME 2927 springs are the same diameter as the Mopar springs but the Mopar shocks have a spring perch wide enough to match. It is welded to the unit so not swappable over to the 93009 shocks.

I was able to return the OME 93009 shocks and order a pair of Bilstein B8 5100’s. Fingers crossed they are actually in stock because they are out of stock a lot of places nationwide right now.

You’ll just have to get the 6112’s then.

Might as well go whole hog, right?

I don’t know of anyone who is running the 6112 setup on a Liberty. I will leave that honor of being the first to someone else.

They sure are nice! I have the 5100’s in the rear (with a Bilstein +1” coil) though so I only went half hog They usually pair with the 5160 reservoir type in the rear.

Sorry I zipped through your original post and read OME not OME!
Just a thought, could you cut the perch off the Mopar struts and bolt / stich weld it to OME shocks?
I soaked my shocks perch's with lanolin before I put the rubber mount on when I saw how rusty the original struts were.
