Default tire rotation

So tomorrow im supposed to be getting my new spidertrax 1.5" spacers & I decided I might as well start doing my tire rotations myself now so I can check the torque on the bolts. I just need some help with how to get my jeep in the air to rotate the tires. Ill be doing a 4 tire rotation as my spare is patched & only good to get me short distances. So I have 2 jack stands with 4 ton limits the stock jack & a 48" hi-lift. How would I go about using these to rotate my tires? Also my jeep has a 4" lift with 33.5" tires

Without lifting the entire Jeep up, might have to use the spare as a place holder as you jack up each corner. I would probably go pick up another set of jack stands and make it easier. Another reason I like the 5-tire rotation but I can understand if your spare is patched up.

What pattern are you using?

I concur, if you can get another set of jack stands that would be a lot easier.
