Think it will be hard to find
I've had a "spacer -budget boost " I guess you could call it sitting in the garage since 2005. Won't sell it since I hate to see people waste their money
Save up and do a full spring lift . On an 04 your springs are already sagged and a spacer lift will create nothing but problems

Im putting this on my girlfriends 2wd, its going to be cheaper to do a spacer lift and wheel adapters and put my stock JK take offs on her liberty then it will be to buy tires for hers. Im not concerned about off road performance, im just trying to get new rubber on hers, and if i can give it a little better stance and free up some space by getting my stock stuff out of the way its a win win for me.

If you do that it will 100% ride like crap and will wear your springs down to nothing, bottom out your shocks, and you will be at square one. So just do it right the first time and get a spring lift, your gf will love you for the better ride even if it will never see off road use your springs still get hammered during day to day driving.

Again, doesn't matter if its on road or off road , you do want a good ride and good handling, neither will you you have with a spacer style lift and sagged out springs. Off road has nothing to do with it working better or worse

X2 and mine has been on for over 160k miles. There seems to be a lot of people with 04-06 KJs with a lot of spring sag and the budget boost kills their springs. It might just be because mine is a per-lowered KJ that my springs have held up. I have a 1/2" of sag with springs that are 11 yrs old and have 213K miles.
