Thanks Iv, I guess my best course of action will be to go no bigger than 33's and get the heaviest duty IFS parts I can find. I'll probably not get too radical offroad in the snow and mud as I'm more apt to do mostly some expeditionary trail riding...kingoftow
i think you will be fine with a 3 in body and the 2 in ts lift. with only 33" tires you shouldn't need to upgrade any ifs parts on the front end. only thing you wanna think about would be different gearing.
Gotcha, my 3.55's are a little high for lugging mud, 4.10's would no doubt be more effective offroad...kingoftow
Get the 3.92 gears ran good on 33s or if you can wait a few months I will have mine out. That just an excuse to come to Vegas. Get a good juckyard rear with 'em in and swap rears then do the front. Some rears are cheaper than the gear swap.
Is yours the 9.25 or smaller rear?
Thanks guys, (I forgot about 3.92 gears... used to have them in my 98 D) they will work well with 33's and for towing. Eventually i might go all out and "Monsterize" my Durango with the Dana 60 I burned out of my '87 3/4 ton utility truck. It's got 4.10 gears and a Suregrip posi unit. I'd have to find a front Dana and figure out a way to make the speed sensor interface. (I believe I have 9.25 diffs /3.55 gears per my build sheet)...kingoftow

Reason: added info
Broke my plastic grill so opted to go with expanded metal mesh. While waiting for JB Weld to dry I messed with the hood. Went for Chalanger stripe and seemed to come out Tap Out logo. Opinions? Someday I would like all paint to match minus the desert pinstripeing--- lol. Not quite done need final bondo and paint on shell.
