i wouldn't run bigger than a 31's, unless you want to trim your fenders. i'm running 31x10.5r15's on my 94 club cab 4x4 with the 3in body lift and i couldn't go any bigger without some rubbing. that's my recommendation. it also depends on whether or not yours is a 4x4. if its a 4x2, i'm not sure what size you could run with the 2in body lift.

I'm testing that right now, just took a break for dinner. :)
I have a '95 with a 2inch lift, cranked torsion bars, and a 1.5 inch block in the rear. I have been running 30's on the stock rims but now they need to be replaced. I stole the spare from my 2000 Durango 4x4 to see if it will fit. It's a 31x10.5x15. I can tell you that nothing bigger will fit without trimming. Unless your truck is just slightly different than mine which is likely, every Dodge I've owned (lots) has been unique.

I also noticed that the rims on the 2000 Durango are a full 2 inches wider than the ones on my '95 Dakota. Where can I find some of those?

You can find them all over E-bay ever since the 16" rims started taking over the factory 15X8's on the durangos have been going down in price. I got my set for $200 and that included shipping. I just put a 2" body lift on my 93 Clubcab V-8 tonight and I'm going with 31's on those rims. You have to file the head on the bolt for the breakline on the caliper a bit but thats it, on my truck at least it only has the 6" rims right now.
