Default lift, coil springs or spacers

i want to get bigger tires on my stock 98 durango but everywhere i look there is no lift kit or anything so i was at orw and they said they have 98 dakota 2inch lift coil springs. they said it might fit but no guarantee. its 150 for just the front and thats all i would be able to do.
Any other suggestions? i dont want a major lift, just a few inches higher so i can get some bigger tires to go offroading

T/s lift is your best bet for tucking 32" tires under your D. Search the forum there is tons of threads on it. And there is a thread in the DIY sticky at the top. It cost around $50 and up

topdog is asking the right question, if its 2wd there are NOT many options (the coil springs from a dakota should work just fine tho) since most people dont waste the time/money lifting a 2wd

if its a 4x4 the t/s lift is the way to go, however we need to know which it is in order to give you a good detailed recommendation

alright, and what is a t/s lift?
i was thinking about the dakota springs because i wanted the suspension to be a little better to go offroading and thought just lifting it wouldnt do much

the springs wont work on your truck, they are only for 2wd trucks which have coil springs in the front, you have torsion bars, which can be tightened to lift it a bit, and then you put lift shakles in the rear (thens t/s, torsion/shackle)
