I'm so happy.

Ever since I got this Jeep I was concered that the suspension was sagging as the left side of the car was 1/2 inch lower than the right, but it was level front to rear. I started to budget for new springs. Well, today I just ran it below 1/2 tank of gas for the first time and the sag went away!! It makes sence because the tank is on the left side. Yay!!! I don't need springs afterall!!!

Get you a Trailblazer Aux Tank, ditch the saddle tank, and never worry about that sag again.

That's awesome! You might not "Need" new springs but it might be a good idea to change'em anyways, Even when full my Wagoneer is level I think I'm below 1/2 half now (Fuel Gauge is not operational) and it's still level, your springs or even shocks might be a little worn. You might even want to check out some adjustable shocks also to keep you level I hear great things about Monroe Air shocks but only if springs are out of the question, Either way you got your self a nice Wagon!

Just park it with the wheels slightly turned to the left, then it will body roll to the right. Problem solved.
