You won't need to cut anything for just 22s. Do a spindle and keys drop up front the a shackle & hanger drop out back. Or you can go with the Belltech drop leafs instead for a near 4" rear drop. 22s will fit just fine, but you'll need to switch to drop shocks.

I've got a 2/3 belltech drop.. which actually turned out to be more like a 3/4 after I adjusted the torsion keys, and the rear saged a bit. I've got 20" with 50 series tires and I already consider it to be "to close for comfort"

I would highly reconsider going -4 with 22" rims JMO

How was the install? And how do you think 22" wheels would handle a drop like 1/2 or 2/3 ?
