Assuming her Tier 1 Dependent visa has now expired, your wife doesn't qualify for ILR due to the lengthy absence outside of the UK.
As CR001 has already advised, she will have to apply for a Spouse Settlement visa and start a new 5 year route (2.5 x 2.5) to settlement (ILR). Her immigration clock has been re-set to zero.
Have you clicked on the link CR001 has posted for you?
You will have to submit evidence in the Spouse visa application of how your relationship has subsisted during the 2 years spent apart.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
