im going to be doing a 3" body lift to my 98 dakota and im gonna be getting some bigger tires. i would like to be able to keep the stock rim but im not sure what tires to go with. any suggestions with size or brand???

 

The guys at http://www.tirerack.com/ sure have some good prices and have a full range of sizes and brands for your truck, they have a list of shop that will install in your area and ship directly to them you just pay the install fee.......I saved about 150.00 on my last set of four doing it that way.

 

33X10.5X15 would be the biggest I would even attempt.

 

if you put on a 3 inch body lift u wil be able to clear 33x12.50s but will rub when you turn..i have the same thing..if u like angle cut the corner of the plastic part on ur lower front bumper it will clear the front but you will need to cut the part by the door theres a metal lip that hangs down and it will catch it to. and i would get new rims.if you get 33x12.50s just get 15 inch rims and it will clear fine. if you get 15x10 inch rims like i did expect the tires to stick out a nice 4-5 inchs as do mine. hope this helps
