Ok guys, I have a 94 dakota sport club cab 4x4 with a 3.9...As it is I am getting 14 MPG. I want to hear from you guys with lifted 3.9s. I am wanting to put on either a 4" trailmaster suspension lift or the 3" body.
1) What is the biggest tire I can cram under this thing without ANY rubbing what so ever? I want to go with 33/12.50
2)What will my gas mileage be around town?
3)HOW MUCH power do these tires drain?? I have a flowmaster 40 muffler, and will have a k&n intake before I lift it....tell me how it performs.
4)anything else I left off??

I have a 94 sport 4x4 regular cab, I have a 3 inch body lift with 33-12.50 in tires. With the body lift I have the torsion bars cranked and a 1.5 inch add-a-leaf in the rear. Now I did have to do some minor trimming to the rear of the front wheelwell. it's not much, you could do it with a hacksaw.

dont forget to change the ratios of your rings and pinions if you want 33's. a 3.96 or 4.10 would get better mpg, more torque than stock, and keep you from evetually shredding your tranny. only a loss of top speed and a couple hundred $. have a shop do it because theres alot of important adjustment that needs to be done, its more than just swapping parts
