What do I use to get the tires extended out so that they look like they are outside the base of my truck. Do you put in spacers? If so? What are the sizes and how costly are they? Thanks all.

Dude...bad idea. Re-positioning your wheels to a wider track will cause problems with your bearings, alignment, turning, and numerous other front-end dynamics. When you go down the street and see people with wheels sticking out really far its usually because they bought some cheap aftermarket rims that don't have the correct off-set. I used to build hot-rods and SCCA (slalom/road course) cars, I have run into many problems with this. You can go to a wider rim that sticks your tires out there, just make sure that the offset of the new rim matches the old...or that they are 'approved' for your year Dak.

Hi there, you can use spacers on the rear axel though. If your like me, a 3.9L 1990, you arent burning out too often, or taking the truck to the local track. I do light off roading here in s. Fla and I have had no problems with my spacers. I got them from truckinsuspension.com. They are pricey however. I used the 1.5in spacer. I also used thred lock on them and made sure they are on very well. As the previous guy said, not a good idea on the front, but the back should be OK.
