32's will fit just fine. i had 33's on without a lift for a year or two, and other than some mean tire rub, they worked fine. if your worried about the rub you can space 'em out a little bit.

i just dont like body lifts cause i think they look funny i would like to find about a 3 inch suspension body lifts show some frame and they also leave the bumpers off. with all the money you spend to but relocate bumpers and move brake lines and other things it will come close to the cost of suspension.(already lifted a ZR2)
who makes a 32 i think hankook does in an immatation swamper but i was wonderin if there were any others

Just to clarify, there are no extra associated costs with trimming fan shrouds or relocating fuel lines when adding a 3" BL to your Dakota. Performance Accessories gives you everything you need in the kit to make the lift. All I did was trim the bottom out of the shroud and disconnect the fuel lines from any mounts on the body and lifted slowly with a large shop jack. They move around a bit and watch for kinks or stress and you don't have to do a thing to your fuel lines.
Money is not the show stopper here, its time.

I agree with Bryan and who knows you might buy the tires they might rub and youll end up needing a body lift anyway,mine rub and the tires are swampers
