How far in advance can I obtain a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand on a Spouse visa?
In country with Spouse visa. Planning to visit US for a couple of months. How far before departure can I get Re-entry Permit at 'local' Immigration. (They have been non committal for this question).
Answer summary
You can obtain a re-entry permit at any time as long as you have a valid extension of stay. It can be purchased at your local immigration office or at the airport after passport control. There are no specific restrictions on the timing, as long as you secure it before departing Thailand.

Any time. I always get a 12-month multiple re-entry permit when I get my 12-month extension. Alternatively you can get it at the airport when you leave through immigration

OPAm aware of the airport choice and will keep that as a choice #2. As visiting our 'local' immigration office is a significant drive but hasn't provided a direct question re "how long before . . . ".

As long as you already have the extension of stay you will exit and return to Thailand on you can buy a re-entry permit anytime you want at your local immigration office

You can also get it at the airport after passport control.

You could have purchased a re-entry permit at the same time your extension was issued, and there's no restriction as long as you get one before you leave.
If you enter on a 90 days Non O you can get a re-entry permit at the immigration at any time or at the airport when you leave.
