rough country makes a 2 inch suspension lift for these trucks. I have it on mine but i switched out the add-a-leaf that came with the kit for one for a fullsize truck, because i wanted more height in the back. the kit is a spring sapcer and add-a-leaf, i picked it up for $120 at JCWhitney. i am currently running 30x9.50 mud tires with minimal rubbing on 15x8 American Racing Baja wheels. The only 2wd dakota i have seen with anything near 33s had this 2 inch lift (which actually came out closer to 3" on my truck) and a custom 3 inch body lift with 32x11.50 tires. no one makes a body lift for these 2wd that i have found, so you would have to have a shop custom fabricate one for you. Good luck.
