RE: lift
285/75 R16's are the equivelent of 33" tires. the problem with ebay is sometimes they are used ane once you change the tire beed it can be difficault to balance them. However all manufactures sell cheeper versions of their name brand, you can try Sam's Club,Wal Mart, Sears a local discount tire store and probable come up with a new set of rubber for cheap. If you ask for 33" tires though you'll pay through the nose so ask for the metric equivelent. You can also by the speedo gear from mopar for under ten bucks.

RE: lift
A 2500 can fit 285/75/16's (33") without any lift. With a 3" lift on your 2500, I would not put anything less than a 35" tire on it or it's going to look too small. I think the 2500's have a 8" rim standard, so you could easily put a 315/75/16 on your stock 2500 rims and have ample clearance for 35's with your 2500 and a 3" lift.
As far as cheap.....Buckshot Mudders are cheap on E-bay. I think the last time I saw them they were under $600.00 for 4 Buckshot mudders in a 315/75/16.
