The gap will increase as they wear down. I wouldn't start with a bigger gap than it needs.

Hey everyone, quick question. Does it matter if which way the thermostat is facing?

Like this:

Well I just changed the water pump and the thermostat housing gasket (thermostat is only a month old so I didn't change it) and it got up to about 230-240 idling, 210 while cruising. Maybe still air in the system? It's about 100* out right now. ZJ fan clutch installed.

This is the bolt that connects your leaf springs to your shackles. It will most definitely be cheaper at the dealer
