I'm not sure if this helps or not but I own a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.2 and when I added an electric fan, the draw was so great that it started to discharge my battery! A friend of mine said that the "viper" spec alternator is a direct bolt on and produces much more amps. If that's the case, then with the same spacer you mentioned, maybe a more power alternator exists. Any way for anyone to check?

Factory replacement alternator for our 2.2 and 2.5's is the following numbers Lester Number (any place should know what that means) 13280, 13304, 13308, 13313 That is 120 amp and a direct bolt in replacement. This alternator has an 8mm hole To get the 136 amp you have to get Lester Number 13742 The only change you will need to make is you have to get a shim to go inside the mounting ear.
