Best place to buy OME Bilstein lift components.

gtommec · **Posted:** Thu Mar 15, 2012 12:58 pm

Okay since I sold my white KJ (and am now down to one) I am ready to purchase the lift for my Blue one. Where are the best places as far as price and availability to buy the parts?

This is what I think I am going with:

OME 927and 948
Bilstein shocks at all four corners (anyone got the part numbers for these?)
clevis lift
1/4 top plate
2 extra isolators in the rear
hockey puck bump stops for the rear
Tera flex bump stops up front

So where would I most likely get the best deal, and who is most likely to have the parts in stock?

yeah I did search, and while i missed the 'strut' spacers, even in your link there are no front Bilstein shocks for LIFTED libertys :roll:

Because no one makes a shock that is listed for a lifted Liberty...... Now that that's out of the way the folks at boulderbars.com are super to deal with as well as Jeepinbyal.com I have had a lot of excellent dealings with both. My :2cents:

is that the cheap Rancho shocks kick the arse off of bilstiens any day. The 9000xl Ranchos aren't bad either but the adjuster has a tendency to seize up.

Are the Bilstens better than the OME?
Do they last longer? Ride better?

That part number's description is " For stock 2002 - 2007 Jeep KJ Libertys" which is what had me confused, but I will take your word on it. :wink:

I have installed both and can't see much difference in ride or handling between the two
If you have a CRD though the OMEs seems to do better

That is all that is available, only stock length as you don't need longer ones in the front. I've been lifted over 145,000 miles on "stock length shocks in front" and no problems
