I have had a few jeeps before and just got a new JK my girlfriend wanted to get onboard with my jeep addiction and just got a 04 2wd KJ.... I was really trying to find her a 4x4 even more the a diesel it just didnt work out that way and she found a great deal on the one she got.....
Now i need help because i dont know anything about a KJ (just found out thats what they were) I want to find a lift hopefully a budget boost because I dont want to toss a bunch of cash into lifting a 2wd so im hoping i can do a budget boost and a wheel spacer adapter and go from 5x4.5 to 5x5 and put my stock JK takeoffs on her jeep, can we do this and fit the jk rubber????

I answered your other post
to run those tires and wheels you'll need at least 3-3.5 inches of lift
full spring lift with new shocks and you'll be good
cheaper in the long run than a spacer lift
I am assuming you want a good ride after you lift it
