Default Bigger Tires

Will these fit a 95 dodge dakota just take my tires off and put these on (After I get a 2" Lift)??? If not can i give the tires to my mechanic and have him swap the tires when I get a body lift kit?

Also whats a good estimate for a 2" body lift kit with installation???

31X10.50 is about as big as you can go on a stock 4x4 depending on wheels. On stock wheels I had no problems, with my Ultra wheels they have a little less back spacing so they stick out a bit further and the tires rub the bottom corner of the front fenders when turning sharp.

I don't think a 2" lift alone is gonna do it, at least not without some minor fender trimming.

looking at your picture at the bottom of your post it seems like your torsion bars are pretty far down.
My truck sat about that low with the rear noticably higher than the front until i took 10 minutes to torque down the adjusters and lift the front what practicaly seemed like 3 to 4 inches.
still probably need that plus a 2 inch body lift to comfortably fit 33X10's without trimming

by trim do you just mean the plastic black wheel well? If so that would be easy just with a dremel and some accuracy
