    Looking at your pics - did you remove the little thingers that help to hold the rotors tight?
    If not those need to come off so the spacers get a flush fit against the rotor. Could be different for JK's but not sure. They had to come off my TJ per instructions.
    I'm running 1.25" Spydertrax spacers. Have been for years.

    Looks good! Jim is right, the retainers do need to come off or (atleast) you'll never get a true alignment. I've been running Rough Country spacers for over 2 years now with no issues whatsovever. I do check the torque everytime I have a wheel off, so far so good.

    I looked at these carefully. The back side of the spacer have an area groved in the back. They fit tight against the drum with only hand pressure. Believe me I checked this carefully!

    Sounds good then. The retainers on older styles do stick out a hair.
    I thought those looked different.

    That's why the lift and spacers were done first.
