Does anybody have OME 60047 shocks they can measure for me

Does anybody have some OME 60047 shocks they can measure for me? I recently ordered the 60047l because the specs indicate they are 15.43". When I opened the box and measured them, the compressed length is 15.75" plus the 3/4" bushings. This makes them way to long for me. So now I wonder how long the 60047 measures. I'm trying to decide if I get the short shocks or just abandon OME and send everything back. I've been having a terrible time finding decent size shocks.
Thanks for the help.

I have some on the shelf, but I’m at work right now until after midnight.

Where do you want me to measure from?

That would be fantastic. If you could get me 2 measurements that would be perfect.

1) From the bar pin to the shoulder of the shock where the washer and bushing rest would be great. This is the standard way shocks with stems are measured and it should be equal to factory specs.

2) If you have the bushings that go on the stem. Please also get me a measurement that goes from the bar pin to the top of the first bushing. Or if you have both bushings installed, between the two bushings where the shock actually mounts to the Jeep.

3 and 4) If not too much trouble, could you also get me extended measurements from the same locations? So I guess thats 4 measurements. Thank you very much.

NOTE: Technically the measurements should be from the center of the barpin/eye. But for ease of measuring just measure off the bottom of the bar pin to the 1) shoulder and 2) top of 1st bushing.


Here is an image for a shock with eye and stem like the TJ front shock.




The image above cam from this link and it gives a good illustration of how to measure shocks.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I've been having a hard time to find the right shocks. My Jeep seems to be very different than others.

Thank you. That is exactly what I needed.

Now I just need to decide which direction I need to go with my shocks. I did some flexing again last night and found I could use more bumpstop in the rear. In which case, if I need to have more bumpstop anyway, that opens up other shock possibilities. So thank you for posting this so quickly. It will be a tremendous help to know exactly how things measured out.
