 Subject: I wanna lift it...what should I do?

Hi everyone. I've been looking all over the NET for the Trailmaster 3" body lift for a '95 Dakota 4x4 Ext cab w/3.9L V6. I cant find it anywhere and no other brands make a 3" body lift for that year.
I cant spend $1000+ for suspension. I wont be doing any major offroading, just want to beef the looks up a bit.
Do you think a 2" PA body lift would be high enough for me to put on Eagle 589 15x10 rims, with M/T Baja Claw 31x11.5x15 tires.
The backspace for the rims is 3.63" and offset is 46mm.
I'm thinking I can get it to work with a 2" PA body lift and if I crank my torsion bars 1-1 1/2" and throw some 2" blocks on the rear leafs.
If this idea wont work, would the Trailmaster 3" body liftkit do the job? and if so, where the heck can I find it?
Does anyone know if the PA lift comes with bumper brackets? The kits for the newer Daks all say they have brackets, but none of the sites say if the 91-96 does too.

you can get a trailmaster 3in body lift at tyres1.com. i'd think it'd be enough to fit those tires, but i'm not positive with that wide of a wheel. the trailmaster kit comes with a relocation bracket for the front bumper, but not the rear. i've got the 3in body lift on my 94 extended cab 4x4. i had a shop weld me some custom brackets for the rear bumper so i could put it up. i'm not sure if the PA kit has brackets for front and back.

Thanks Steve!
YOU DA MAN!
Just checked that site out. they've got everything there I need.
I may use narrower rims though. I just hate that stock offset rim, makes the wheel look flimsey and stupid. As much as I'd like a big negative offset with meats hangin' outta the fenders, probably wont 'cause I aint cuttin' nuttin'.
