Hi Guys
I have a 94 Dakota 2 wheel drive with 15" tires. I have a set of 31x10.5x15 tires that came off my Ford Explorer. I want to put these tires on my Dakota because it's going to need tires soon. Here is my question with they fit without putting a lift kit on the truck?

Thank you

 

What size is in there now? You can use this to compare sizes.

Hi
The tire on the Dakota is 215/75/15's. That is the size my dad ran on it


Thank you

 

3" taller and 2" wider. Yes. You will need a lift. Probably wider wheels too.

 

Found in the FAQ2 post at the top of the forum:

Tire Sizes

How to decipher metric tire sizes
The first number is the section width of the tire in millimeters. This is not the bead width nor the tread width, this is the width of the widest part of the tire.
The second number is the aspect ratio. This is a ratio of the height vs the width. This number, as a percentage of the first number gives you the sidewall height.
The third number is the bead diameter (rim diameter) in inches.
*NOTE* 25.4 millimeters = 1 inch

Example) 235/75/15

Width = 235mm = 9.25". Height = 235*(75%) = 176.25mm = 6.94"
Total diameter = (6.94*2) + 15 = 28.88 inches
Converted to standard size, this is a 28.88 x 9.25 x 15 tire.

Hi Guys

I found the 3" kit for the front but only found 2" shackles for the rear. I may just get the 2" for the front. The chart says 2" - 4" lift for 2 wheel drive for 31's. What do you guys think?

Thank you
