Default 97 dakota, tire and wheel help plz!

So I recently purchased the Adrenaline XDC Series II 3" Suspension Lift System (1997-2004 Dodge Dakota 4x4) for my 97 v8 standard Dakota. Once I get the lift installed I'm going to pull the trigger on new tires and wheels. I'm trying to run the biggest possible tires without ANY rubbing and I seem to be getting mixed answers from everyone I talk to.


What is the best size tire/wheel combo for Dakota with a 3 inch suspension lift??


Thanks for the input!

I ran 325-60r15's on my '99 with no lift and only minimal rub on the frame rail at full lock... yes 325's.

Hi Friar Tuck, I had similar problems with my 2001 dodge ram van, so I replaced all of the relays because of the age and the relays are not very expensive.Especially the A.S.D. relay ; it controls the fuel injectors, coil. etc and shuts down the fuel in the event of an accident so as to prevent a fire.Even if it is clicking I would replace it.Switch the relays around temporarily and see if it helps. They are interchangeable.I also had an intermittent no-crank and found that the range-sensor was faulty; it tells the P.C.M. what position the shift is in and causes a no-crank problem if it is worn inside. I replaced the starter relay, A.S.D. relay and fuel pump relay. Hope you get rolling again soon. Frank

Hi Frank O'Donnell here: Did I mess-up some how? I am confused may be I answered the incorrect post. Please direct me. I haven't been on the forum for a long time, and I wanted to help out that person with the dodge ram no-start. Thank you Frank

This isn't even close to the thread you are talking about. This is in the dakota section, and the guy is talking about lift kits. I have no idea how you managed that one. Do you have multiple tabs open? Maybe you just responded on the wrong one?
