I was thinking of installing wheel spacers on my stock ride height Liberty. Not sure if I should even bother. Will it make any performance or handling difference? I mostly do highway driving, no off-road. Can I still maintain highway speeds with spacers on? Thanks for any info!

The factory designs these with those things in mind. Spacers probably will add nothing to your experience at stock height with stock tires, and are primarily designed to even things out/get them close to stock again, after putting larger tires on. The can also be used to add clearance in some cases, but usually only move the problem spots elsewhere.
They will not change speed or highway performance in that sense as they do nothing to change the overall diameter.

I don't think spacers are going to give you what you want, unless what you want is the rickyricer look.

They will rub even with stock tires, waste of money when you are not lifted
