I pulled mine and stuffed them in the attic. I assume there's plenty of others that may have done the same thing. I would post a wanted add about it. You may find someone local.

I have a 99 Cherokee Sport with a 4.5" Lift.

I just replaced my front shocks. I measured the extended length of the old shocks and I ordered the new shocks the same length.

When I put the new shocks on (which are the same extended length" I noticed that the body of the new shock is longer than the old one. The body of the new shock is about 2.5" longer than the old. Leaves about 3" of the shaft showing. Is this going to be enough or do I need to re order.

^ Three inches of available uptravel on a 4.5" lift with 10" shock travel, does not seem correct.

Anyone know what this is? It's on the upper portion of the block, about 3/4 of the way back, it's obviously a ground but it has a single wire clip going to it and then it's bolted to the block! Just wondering if anyone knows I'm just cleaning all the grounds up right side of the block!

Search result for that part number brings up this gem:

Something involved in the explosion of a benzene and xylene mixture.

*Googles...finds kettering ignition system...*

OOOhhhh...Seems important:
Without the capacitor, the points will be rapidly eroded and the collapsing magnetic field will expend a good part of its energy as a few dozen volts maintaining the unwanted arc across the points.
Edit: Probably a plug near/under/around distributor...just my guess

Will a bad 02 sensor cause the check engine light to come on?

It can. Probably only if it's the upstream O2 sensor. It'll say your fuel trim is out of wack or something.
