Default v6 with 35s

Does anyone have 35s on a v6 Dakota. If not do you think it will handle them without putting new gears in it.

Depends what gearing and transmission you got now...

let alone you neeed some serious lift to fit them im pushing 6 inches lift with 1.5 inch wheel adaptor on 15X8 99 durango rims and 33X14R15 tires and barelly clear the 33's ... and under any heavy suspension flex while turning right now my tire rub (spring project to fix this issue)

for 35's you will need to cut up some fenders etc...

I'm running 35s with a V-8 and 4.11 gears, and I often wish it had more power. I'm planning on putting 4.88 gears in it pretty soon. I think the combo you're asking about would be a serious dog.

The v6 seems pretty puny for 35s.
