Default Lifting 2wd Dak

I have a 2001 Dakota 2wd V6 that I want to lift 2-3 inches. How much lift would V8 springs give? What are the best spacers to use with the V8 springs? How do I lift the rear without an axle flip? What size tires could I fit with a 2-3 inch lift without rubbing? Any other advise? I also just replaced the shocks with Monroe Sensatracs if that makes a difference.

V8 springs off a durango gave me an inch. a lift cup on one end of the spring will be another inch. Back you can get a chevy drop shackle I believe. check the FAQ.

I have 15 inch wheels stock but I want to replace with 16 inch American Racing Baja wheels with the same width and offset but I want them to stick out a little more. I plan on getting fender flares. So what size wheel do you recommend. Also where are the FAQs?
