No they don't, I run the R/R spacer about 1/2" high which splits the difference between a full or empty tank. Sits pretty much dead level at 1/2 tank of gas.
I have done basically what you are asking; JKS springs up front for length, and AEV springs in the rear for load carrying capacity. I also used JKS ACOS spacers to dial in each corner, so no lean and level with my trail gear loaded. These spacers only work with springs that are the OE diameter...
Can I ask why you would want to do this? I was maybe being a little politically correct initially, it will look pretty strange. Also, you probably wouldn't want to air down the tires ever because the rings may pinch the side wall at low pressures. Plus there would be a good sized gap for mud...
You can mount the "real" beadlock ring on the wheel with the tire mounted in the non-beadlock position. However, there will be a gap between the ring and the wheel where the tire would sit if mounted as a beadlock. You can see the gap in your bottom picture, this will be visible and a bit...
Unless Mopar changed them, the bolts are six point. I have damaged mine, but always managed to be able to file a little off, and get a socket tapped on with a hammer to retorque. My guess is the bolts stick out 3/8"ish from the face of the lock ring. I got a deal on mine, that's why I run them.
Have you considered a semifloat 60 as a replacement? There are a few manufacturers offering these, but I haven't looked into what's available right now. It would be an upgrade from a 44, but less expensive than a full ton swap, and they fit your current wheels.
I have been researching the same thing. Some differences I have worked out so far:
-Currie is high pinion front and rear, some argue a high pinion rear is weaker. They have a "load bolt" on the rear to take care of ring gear deflection. Genright uses Curries on all their builds, so it may be...
There are three Jamborees:

I live in a terrible area for fuel mileage. Extremely hilly, and the wind is ridiculous. I see high teens on the highway regularly. About 15-16 in town on average.
I can't give you an exact answer, because have 38" tires now. The way I made my decision to go with 5.13 is looking over a gearing chart here on the forum. The RPM with the factory 4.10 gears in 7th is nearly the same as 5.13 in 8th. My rig cruised without issue in 7th, and I was happy with...
I have a T3 and it will fit side to side in the back seat area with the seats folded. I have a crowded cargo area (Fridge, drawer, corner bags, and cargo shelf) so I can't try it back there. You may be able to utilize the small spot between the roll bar and the back glass, so the tent would...
Sorry for the weird angle, but it's what I have on my phone. That is the Rusty's carrier at the highest setting, with a 38" Milestar, and a steel Rock Hard bumper.
Asking what is the absolute "best" lift kit is a bit like asking what is the best dog. Everyone thinks theirs is the best, and nobody is really wrong. That being said I will be the first of many to suggest the Metalcloak Gamechanger.
All minor now. The rear tried to rip the factory inner fender liner off, so I cut a bunch of that out on the trail one day. With the rear inner liners replaced (I used Metalcloak) and the rear corner trimmed, the rear will occasionally make contact with the flare while at full bump. Just...
I run the 38" Milestars, and my wheels have a 5" BS. The only rubbing I get is at full articulation. I ran 37" Milestars with 4.75" BS wheels previously, and they do tuck better. However, there is a lot of different variables that change how the tires actually fit different Jeeps. I ended up...
