Here is some additional info;
The Pirelli 265/35R22 outside diameter is 29.4 inches according to there website.

The Nitto 285/35R22 outside diameter is 29.88 inches accoding to there website.

I dont think the additional .58 of an inch is going to make that big of a difference. With a bigger tire, the truck will ride better and the risk of creating curb rash on your rims is reduced because the tire is wider. I know everyone usually goes with a 265, but I think a 285 will work.

What width can you go with 22's up front?
I tought the 285's only fit on a 22x10 wheel? I did some research and found out the 22x10's up front will give you some rubbing issues and touches the front sway bar. And you would be better off with a 22x8.5 wheel size up front,the only thing is there's not to many manufactures that make a 22x8.5!

I will take some pictures between the sway bar and the rim tomorrow of both my truck and my bros, that will give us some answers.
