I have read a lot of threads and I am wondering why I see some people put the .75 spacer on the back and some don't? I don't want to do the same work twice. Also, those who have put on Rubicon front springs which spacers did you use, just the 1 inch and/or the .5 inch as well.

Just depends what stance you want your JT to have. Sport S with max tow package I changed my front springs to a 340 and 343, added a Daystar 1.5” spacer front and .75” rear, I like the stance ymmv

I have a sport s max tow (just mentioning for awareness of fender clearance and spring aspects). I installed 285/70/17 JLU Rubicon takesoffs and wanted to: open up the fender gap a little more and reduce (but not fully eliminate...some people skip the rear spacer so that they are 100% level) the rake as I only haul heavy items very occasionally. Therefore, it was very easy/economical for me to do the Teraflex 1.5" spacer up front and the Daystar .75" spacer in the rear. This left me with what I think is the perfect amount of rake and fender clearance.

I ran the same set up spacer wise but sport with Rubi springs.

I should have mentioned I have a Sport S with Max Tow. 90% of my time will be on road so I wont go Rubicon springs all around. My plans are to go with 255/80/17 tires, Rubicon springs up front, Fox shocks all around, and 1.5 leveling kit. Most I will ever haul is filling up the bed with bags of mulch. Will rarely if ever tow anything, but I wanted Max Tow for the gears. Eventually I will add a bumper and winch. Im looking at the knock off Mopar steel bumper and maybe a Badlands winch.

I am running 35x10.5x17 similar size, with everything you listed plus Mopar lower control arms, handles pretty well even when towing around 3k lbs.
