Without a custom bumper, baja fender flares, or a lift, the largest you can go is 32". And even with those, after cranking the t-bars a little, you might have some minor rubbing. 33's would be out of the question.

I think all the guys here running 33's have a 3" lift or greater except for Dweishaar (http://www.dodgedakota.net/cgi-bin/amb/lookup.pl?user=dweishaar) who has the fender flares, and forexfour (http://www.dodgedakota.net/cgi-bin/amb/lookup.pl?user=forexfour) who has the hanson bumper.

I have a 99 CC and just put 32" BFG ATs on. I didn't have to do any trimming, but they do rub a little on the frame when cranked to the left. I did level the truck out with the torsions bars, and have the stock rims.

you can find 32's just about anywhere and any brand. almost every kind of truck tire will come in a 32 inch. it just depends on how wide you want it.

One more question,If I put a 3" body lift on the truck would I be able to fit 33's also is it harder to a body lift on a newer truck like a 99.I have put one on my old truck which was a 95 Z71.That wasnt bad.Would I have to cut the fan shroud and extend the sterring colum?Thanks for the help

With a 3" body lift you can clear 33's. As far as the difficulty of putting the body lift on, most say it is very easy, but takes about 6-8 hours. Here is a link to Dakota Dodge's install site with pics.
