Default body lift on my 98 2wd

hello, i was wondering if anyone could send my pictures of a 2WD with a 3" body lift kit. I just got my 98 dakota sport 3.9 auto 2wd, and the guy threw in a 3" body lift kit from performance accessories. I have to install it, but i want to see what it looks like on a 2wd, NOT A 4wd with stock suspension lift. mine is sitting on 215/75/15's and is very low, so i want to see how it looks on one just like mine. also, after i install the kit, how much tire can i get away with running? thanks!

you'd be able to fit 33's with MAJOR trimming
32s are not bad though.

Some of the 2 wheel drive daks I look at look like they wont be able to fit but some other ones that I seen have a 31in tire. If you have a pic of your truck post it up and I can tell you if you can fit a 31 or not.
