Good point. I mean, adding up the cost of buying the brackets, and new compatible arms, I'm basically half-way to a decent long arm setup. Thanks!

I have a complete waggy front end setup in very good condition (not cracked anywhere) with wiring and all... What do you guys think it's worth? I'm trying to sell it.. Had plans for it but I'm going in a different direction.. I just don't know what's it's worth really...

I have noticed lately that when my fuel level falls to a 1/4 tank in my 97 cherokee and I make a hard left my jeep will sputter like it is running out gas. Any ideas?

Probably lower than 1/4 in reality. Gas is sloshing away from the pickup screen. Not good to run veicles with in-tank pumps low on fuel anyway.

My o2 sensors are reading between 0.1-0.9 but mostly 0.7. What's wrong?

This. The electric pumps use the gasoline to cool them down. When you run it low like that not only will it sputter because it's not getting fuel, but the pump will run hotter and won't last as long.

Both of them? The operating range for the O2s is 0-1 V where 0 is lean and 1 is rich. If they're original they can't be trusted. Have you replaced them yet?
