Hi, im contemplating getting a 2"front/1.5"rear lift for my dakota. I current have 245-65-17 tires on right now and was wondering if it would look funny with a small lift? Does anyone have pictures of a small body lift with stock tires? Thanks.

 

Yes, it will look funny.

 

Here is a picture from when I first put on the TM 1.5" leveling kit, and stock in the rear.
The tires are 265/70/16, which are a little over an inch bigger/taller than your 245/65/17's.

 

This is what your looking at.

Eww chrome...

 

Here was mine, 2.5" front 1" rear with stock 265/60/18s (1" bigger diameter than yours)

Throw some jacks under the frame rails on one side and take a few inches off the suspension and see what it looks like to you. Each truck's a little different but nothing like a real mockup to see if you might even end up looking for another inch or something.

 

It's the same way I wanna go! And I'm thinking getting the 265/70R17 instead of the stock tires 265/65

And if I couldn't get the leveling kit I will go with the 285/60R17 and lowering the rear end 2" instead

 

Thanks for the replies, it certainly gives me a nice general idea. Im thinking i might just pass on a lift since im really happy with my wheels and tires.
