Wheel spacer install
I installed the wheel spacers and rotated the tires while I was at it.
This was single-handedly, the most un-eventful, un-stimulating and un-skillful install I have ever performed. Taking pictures of the install, downloading the pictures to my computer and posting them up on this thread would have taken longer than the actual install, so I didn't bother. I'll take some "after" pics during daylight and when it stops raining, so you see the difference, but there's nothing to report here folks. Keep on movin'.
One thing I will say though is that there is a noticeable difference in how the Jeep drives. Driving around, especially taking turns feels different. Haven't decided yet whether it's better. Just different for now. Looks much better though - stock wheels should have come with 4.75" of BS from factory!

I don't even need to steer on the highway anymore with mine. The jeep just follows the road and steers itself!
Well... I didn't follow the manufacturer's recommendations and re-torque the spacers after 50 miles...... just wasn't convenient and really didn't expect them to loosen anyway..... I did take all 4 wheels off and attempt to re-torque the spacers, but as expected... they didn't need it. Didn't move at all.

Also, if you use loctite, and you then attempt to retorque spacers after 50 miles, and the lug nuts move even a little bit, you'll break loose the loctite.
