A slightly better version is two small scraps of flat bar with two holes drilled in each. Probably twice the surface/support area.
Another spacer alternative is the KK strut fork that you could snag at a wrecking yard. IIRC, they are 3/8" longer.
I reckon he needs the whole bracket aka "parking brake adapter". It is unique to the later KJ's that have individual rear wheel speed sensors.

Facebook marketplace or CL is a sure way to get listings near you. What I have seen so far with KJ's is they usually come up as a whole (cheap) vehicle to buy with some kind of major problem. Very few folks seem to part them out. There's also far fewer 06-07 KJs out there than 02-05.
I renewed the bushings and balljoint once. The holes became too stretched to retain the replacements, so i had to tack weld. New arm for sure next time. They are on amazon for about $100.
Probably rub. Spacing the tire out makes it 'swing' more when steering; similar effect as a larger tire.
1.25" wheel spacers are a cheaper way to 'try' a different offset wheel.
I put on Nokians for the winter. They deal with rain, ice, and packed snow superbly. Definitely a milder and quieter tread than the Duratracs I run the rest of the year.
Not every wheel. The easy 'tell' for hub-centric is flat or washer faced lug nuts.
Duallies, and lot of ford pickups, and toyota trucks are centered on the hub only. Aftermarket wheels on these usually requires going lug-centric with different nuts.
