Does anyone know what kind of lift & what size tires on the white dakota in album 16? And what type of sus./body lift combo is needed to run 35's? Any help greatly appreciated.

WildBill .. If you have a 2000 or newer 4x4 there is no suspension lift available.. I guess you could get technical and say there is the whiplash kit or the Truckin Suspension kit.. or you COULD do a solid axle swap.. But for the majority of people no one would want to mess with either of those 3 because they would all be a serious pain.
I'd go with the solid axle swap if I had to do it all over again.
I THINK!! .. this might work no ones tried it and I haven't measured it.. But if you get 3" body lift and a Hanson Enterprise bumper you might be able to run 35's.. But it'd be REALLY REALLY close.
By my guess though that truck is running the 3" Rancho kit on 33" tires.. But I don't know for sure.

Knobby - I think you guess is correct as well...they look a little small for 35's...but then again..who am I to say?
As for running 35's...After putting 33x12.5 Thornbirds on..which are actually 13.75" wide, even if you had a true 12.5" tire, I don't think you could do it for one reason. That is that it rubbs pretty harsh at 3/4 to full lock at the inner most point on the lower fire-wall area.
The bumper is the least of a cut-off saw's problems...

This is a 3" suspension and 3" body with 33's The truck in the album is running 33" swampers so they look a little taller.

Yep 3" rancho and 3" PA body lift.
The rancho is set at exactly 3" in the picture but can go to 4" - 4.5" over the stock setting.
I'm hoping to put tis on my truck with it cranked to about 4" combined with a 3" body for 7" of lift and clear 25x12.50's!

I'm guessing you mean 35x12.5's :-)
35's would rock.. But after getting my truck up to 33's w/ 4.5" (actually it's more like 5" but eh) it feels plenty high to me. I'm hopeing that with the Hanson bumper I'll be able to run 35's but we'll just have to wait and see. I need to get my new wheels first.
