why are you lifting a 2 wheel drive in the first place? are you pre running the truck?

i believe rancho still makes one, and tough country as well, not sure about a 2 wheel drive specific one.

there r only two suspension lifts for the 2wd that i know of, the fabtech and doetsch tech they are both pretty much the same just doetsch tech is a lot cheaper, its like name brand vs. store brand on em if u get them u gotta get new rims with smaller backspacing cause of the new control arms

edit: fabtech has discontinued the 2wd dakota lift (which sux) but there are still places that have it stocked so u can contact either prolly to see if it'll fit ur 04 i dont know if there are any differences in the 04 to the others, prolly none but still contact the makers
