Probably not. You are at very least going to have to crank the torsion bars up a lot. But more than likely you are going to have serious rubbing unless you either trim the fenders or do a body lift at least.
My 99 has 33x12.50-15 on it with the 3in Rancho suspension lift and they are very close to the backs of the fenders but they don't rub.
You didn't say how wide a tire you were getting but if its a 12.50 you will have more clearance problems than if you only had a 10.50.
I think the tallest tire i have heard of on a stock height dakota is a 32x11.50, and they still had to crank the torsion bars a litte.

They'll probably do it if you ask them to. Just be warned that to get enough room for 33s you will need to jack the torsion bars up a lot. You are going to be putting a lot more stress on the enire front suspension and also your front cv axles will be at an awkward angle causing them to wear out faster also.
Good luck.

its a waste. even if you dont rub going down the road you will definatly have serious run offroad. especially with 12.50" width. Then all the front end problems from cranking the t-bars. all = head ache.
