Ok so I have a 97 dodge Dakota and I’m wanting to to a 4 inch suspension lift on it and I’m wondering if 35 inch tires are to big? Also if they are what should I get?

Yes they are too big. They won't fit clearance-wise for one, and the axle on your truck really can't handle more then 31s. Not to mention you can't buy a 4 inch suspension lift, the only lifts readily available for your trucks are 3" body lifts and 3" and 2" suspension lifts. DO NOT buy a 3" suspension lift. If you lift the front more then 2" there will be no downplay in the suspension, which equals terrible ride quality among other issues.

Do you have a 4wd or 2wd?

I agree. I had a suspension lift and not only was the ride absolutely terrible, it ate through ball joints CVs and upper control arms at double the normal wear rate.I ditched the suspension lift and now I got the 3” body lift from Performance Accessories and I’m running 31’s with clearance for what looks like a 32 max. A 33 MAY fit but will likely rub on the frame
