Welcome Erin. Norah, I had no prob's putting 31x10.50 on my 95 4x4.
From the looks of things, crank the t-bars about 10turns and put 1"
blocks in the rear and I coulda put in 32's.
Just my .0000001 cents

>> Hi, All. I'm the (extremely) proud new owner of a 1993 Dodge Dakota
2x4,
>> 42K miles, 318 Magnum, 518 tranny, 3.54 rear axle ratio. It's my
first
>> "real" truck (I had cars all my life and then a GMC Sonoma for 6
months
>> before I just had to get something that could WORK... please
>> don't shoot me,
>> I didn't know any better). And I have to say I'll probably never buy
>> anything but a Dodge and the Dakota is my #1 choice. As I learn more
and

>>
>> So, here I am with this truck and I need some help. The owner's
manual is

I

sticker

>> Also, I'd like to raise the truck 2". When I bought it, it had

promptly

All-Terrain
>> T/A. It looks better... and handles like a completely different
truck. I
>> still want to pick it up a bit. I'd like to know if anyone has
experience

the
