Default Help on 2Wd Suspension, Wheel & Tire Upgrade

Long expensive story short: After I drop another motor in "Rattlez", I'd like to upgrade the suspension & tires but wheels only if mandatory. I'm also bolting up a hitch.... I need some opinions, ideas and/or tips, against or towards my plan. I'm only a 2 year owner...
2000 Durango Slt+, 5.9 L, 2 wheel drive, stock specs if not worse & from Louisiana.
My Plans Are: Level front end (2" suspension cups?), rear helper spring system to help towing, 32" A/T tires on factory but reconditioned 15" wheels.
Of course it's a budget build or one item bought at a time maybe. I thought of lay-a-way a new set of wheels & tires but that's another headache.
Any help will ease my headache.... Thanks

Check out Doetsch, they offer two lift packages for 2wd Durango. one uses stock wheels the one with a-arms will not fit factory wheels. I just bought a system from them and it was nice stuff and the price was right. $225 for the 2/0 lift and 475 if you want the 3/2 lift.

Thanks for the input Wango Durango! Even that price is good for me, and at least its a legit knowledge company too. Guess I had a dumb moment not thinking that the Dakota is 95% the same as Durango...
