Ok so I have a 95 Dakota and it was my daily driver but now I want to turn it in to a toy but still able to drive normally. Any ideas?

Specs:
Stock Lift
235x75R15 Tires
5.2 V8
4x4
Stock on everything else

I have a huge rust problem I am tackling right now so I also wanted to weld some support braces when I get it all off, just to keep the frame and structure intact.

Here is what I am looking for. My truck is complete stock and I want to turn this bad *** truck into even more bad ***. Lets face it, dodge didn't design this gen truck to look good on 28 and low to the ground so I want to lift it and such but what tires and how much lift should I put?

I also romp around the desert alot to so any ideas will be great!

I'll post pictures as I continue to work on it.

 

body lift/ torsion key can get 3-6 inches depending+ shackle flip in rear to compensate without any major costs.. if you search me you will find my truck on 33X14R15's on mine with 5.5 inch lift(3.5 suspension after settling and 2 inch body) and with tire size difff from stock roughly 8-9 inches over stock

(trying to find a stock 4x4 here to take pic to compare but it aint easy LOL)

 

33 inch tires are the way to go! If you level out the front you can wedge 31s under there which hell looks a lot better than stock! Check your local listings to see if any one had a dakota with a lift and wrote it off, that's what I did any ways. It was a lot of work and took a lot longer than I thought it should have. Make sure you can borrow some body's wheels to get to work and what not unless you got a couple of buds that love to play around aha
