I am thinking about Savvy taillights, but want to prioritize my marriage!
You're so far into it now that trying to salvage anything that costs what the lights do is like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic to stop it from sinking.

Yesterday, when cleaning up the brakes from the last wheeling trip, I discovered some excessive movement in the front left tire. The spindle nut on the small hub kit had backed itself out slightly. Fortunately, this is an easy fix. All better now!

Assuming those hub nuts don't have a lock washer you fold over that nut then?
If it wasn't obvious, it is rare that the other side will ever back off. The left side backs off due to the direction the tire turns which is usually the same way that backs off the spindle nuts. The other side would just get tighter and eventually smoke the wheel bearings.
When you say excess movement, do you mean you had runout or your hubs wiggled?
No, they have a thick inner spindle nut with a small pin that sticks outward. That gets torqued to less than 5 ft lbs. The washer with holes in it and a tang for the slot in the spindle threads goes on to line up with one of the holes on the pin. Then the thinner outer spindle nut goes on and gets torqued to 140ish.
@mrblaine described this, but for those, like me, that sometimes have difficulty visualizing things, here's the difference in the supplied rotors, versus the stock one you buy. I laid the supplied rotor over the stock one and marked it.
This is how much needs to be removed from the stock rotor, if you want to install one on the Yukon hubs. I have a couple 2" stones, so, for future reference, I'm going to see how difficult it is to cut these down. Unless someone has a different recommendation?

The kit does come with rotors. Enlarging the factory rotors was just for demonstration purposes.Why enlarge the center hole on the factory rotors? Does the Yukon kit not come with rotors or are they bad?
The vendor that packaged the kit sent one correct and one incorrect stub shaft.I saw one of the stub shafts was wrong, I would guess that they are supposed to be the same or are they different?
If the vibration goes away with the front driveshaft removed, assuming you tried slight pinion angle changes before removing it, then the hub kit will help.I have been trying to get rid of the the driveline vibrations that I caused by installing my Savvy skid and have been unable to get rid of them with the front driveshaft installed.
