WJ hubs question

Ok, I've done some reading and searched... so calm down if it's been covered, I tried.
If I go with WJ outers, I've got an issue with the hubs: they are 5 on 5 and I think they need 1/4" spacers welded in (where?)
There are hub kits out there to change the bolt pattern but then you have manual hubs, which aren't desirable to me for a number of reasons.
Is there any way to get WJ knuckles with a 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern without manual hubs?
How about getting my 8.25" shafts in a 5 on 5 variety? Is the new Lib 5 on 5 or 5 on 4.5? Is there enough meat on the 8.25 shaft to re-drill to the new pattern?


Nevermind. Found it. Some machining on 01 TJ hubs should do it...

The 1/4" spacer welds to the face of the wj knuckles.
If you dont your u-joint wont be on the same axis as your ball joints when you turn and cause binding.
It looks like you answered your own question on the hubs.
As far as rotors, I used explorer sport trac.

Is that a commercially available spacer? Looks real clean

You can get everything you need from jks in the fab parts section.
If you order through kevins offroad it'll be a little cheaper.

Not to mention the JKS trac bar kit if you don't know how to weld (like me ). I just gave my local guy the measurement and he notched the bar and burned the bushing sleeve on for me.

I also used the jks trac bar kit.
