So I decided that the 22's weren't really my style and I could make some money by switching them out so I decided to make it look a little different:
Stock wheels with 265/75's with the 2" lowering

Rolled the 285/75's up to it with the stock height rear and front cranked to match:

2" lift block in rear and front cranked to match:


And after I got the 285's installed:


It rides great, and the 285's are in GREAT shape, they are Bridgestone Dueler APV's. I eventually want to put some Isuzu Snowflakes on it. Not sure why my truck rides so smooth on cranked stock keys when everyone else says they ride like tanks, ride is the same as before except now I don't get that "floaty" feeling when going over a big dip.

Thanks! Ya I did the trade because the tires on the 22's were like new, the rims were decent and I knew I could make some money off them if I decided to change. I ended up coming out $250 ahead after the swap. I eventually want to swap the wheels but not too worried about it right now.

Recently did a few more upgrades. New Strike 6 rims with 305/70-16 Falken WildPeaks, some pocket style fender flares, CalSpeed 1 7/8 Stainless headers and y-pipe with Dynomax Ultra-Flo cat-back, replaced my intake filter with an AFE Pro-DryS, also finished my hood today. Got a few more things in the works right now but I think she's coming along nicely.
