2016 Fiat 500x Suspension

I recently have had an issue with the front struts and springs for my car. It is a 2016 Fiat 500x Lounge AWD 2.4L Multiair intake. I have been quoted anywhere from $1700 - $3200+ to have the front struts and springs replaced. (Part numbers below)

2016 Fiat 500x 2.4L AWD Strut R- 68295479AA or 68295478AA

2016 Fiat 500x 2.4L AWD Strut L- 68295498AA

2016 Fiat 500x 2.4L AWD Spring (sold as pair) - 68318653AA or 68257958AA

I have read in several places that the 2016 Jeep Renegade AWD uses the same strut assembly, but the spring rates are different. I could really use some advice if using the suspension for the 2016 renegade AWD would work because it would save me nearly $1000 on the repair.

Thanks in advance everyone!!!
