you could do a rotation anytime, just move your best tires to the front and when you think the wear has evened out then start a standard 5 tire rotation

Your 4 free Mopar oil changes also includes tire rotations.

I have tried the diagram before, but like you they didn't understand/follow it. Now I chalk each tire with the position it goes on to. Easy to check that they have done it correctly and easier for the tech to follow.

Seems like tire rotations and oil changes go hand-in-hand on these vehicles (about 6k)...and all I have are the stock all-terrain 245’s. I also drive myself nuts trying to ‘feel out’ the tread cupping and rotate accordingly.
I do enjoy performing this myself in the gee-raj...helps me learn things/know where tools are n stuff.

I just had the dealer do my first oil change and rotation via the Wave program, and was disappointed when I got home and looked under the spare tire cover that it was still new, they only did a 4 wheel rotation... Wish I had checked at the dealer. I had stupidly assumed they'd just do the 5 tire rotation since most people I know around the country said their dealers did that by default...

I rotate the tires when I change the oil. Mileage is low on mine so I normally do service based on time not miles (minimum once a year). That said, I'm typically around the 5K mile range for rotations and oil changes.
I also do 5 tires. It increases tread life a bit, keeps all 5 times similar, and makes the process easier when you're doing your own.

Check torque on your lug nuts, if the dealers don't even know how much oil this JL takes they also might not know that the torque on the lug nuts has been upped from the JKs 85 ft pounds to the larger lug JLs 130 ft pounds.

I solve all of these problems by doing my own oil changes and tire rotations. If you think taking it to the dealer means you'll get exceptional service you are sorely mistaken. I have bead locks so I mount my own tires too.

When I have the dealer do the 5-tire rotation I use a chalk marker and put the position that the tire is destined to on the sidewall. This makes it easier for the technician than looking at a diagram and gives you the visual clues to check to make sure they were done correctly.
For the OP ... it is not too late with your low mileage. Just move the spare to the FR and put that tire on the spare tire carrier. Carry on with 5-tire rotation on your next service.
p.s. I'd include an image of the rotation pattern I use, but not sure how to upload pictures on this site.
