I do every 3k with Nitto Ridge Grapplers (the more MT like the tire, the quicker the wear the shorter the rotation interval to keep even wear). I use a floor jack and 2 jack stands. Jack up Passenger side, spare to rear, rear to front, drop it down. Jack up the driver side, PF to DR, rear to front, front to spare. Takes me 30 min alone, 45 if i get "help."

Do a 5 tire rotation and you can do one at a time, no jack stand needed. After one time you’ll be sick of that scissor jack, though. Do yourself a favor and get a floor jack from Harbor Freight.

The TPMS sorts itself out as soon as the wheels spin.

Use axel tube as jack point, right beside where lower control arms bolt to it (picture in the manual).

I use this rotation pattern, which I got on this forum (I wish I could remember to whom I should give credit).

I get that it affects the wear pattern, but if you don't include the 5th tire won't it eventually become useless due to the hardening of the compound and the difference in circumference in comparison to the other tires? I feel like I'm wasting a perfectly good tire if I don't include it in the rotation :whew::CWL:.
So then you must have rotated your spare on all your vehicles you've owned.....wow. good for you, I'm not sure I know anybody that has done that.
