You can put helper springs in the rear , but you are IFS in the front. You either have to buy a very expensive lift or straight axle it for any great amounts of lift. You can do a torsion bar crank and gain a little or re-key the torsion bars. I'm not a big fan of body lifts , but if you only want enough lift to go up a tire size or two you could put a 2" BL with a Torsion Bar Crank and an add-a-leaf in the rear and be good for some mild wheeling ..... IMHO

I have an 89 Dakota , standard cab , long bed 4x4 . it has air shocks on the rear and the torsion bars have been cranked . I can clear 31's but my ride is kinda harsh.... but it's a parts chaser/beater so I really don't care about ride quality.
