To achieve the "right" look did you leave the front stock and lower the back 2" or did you lower the front 2" and lower the back 4" for your 22s? Also, what kit did you find to be best to achieve the look you were after?

You can search threads that I created to see pics of my truck...I am work right now so I can't see any pics to point you in the right direction.
We did the following:
Got coils from member "RUSLOW" that were equivelant to a 2" Drop up front
Used the JLP 2,3,4 Drop shackles on the 2nd setting which did a 3.5" Drop in the rear
Changed the shocks out the L-Spec Billsteins
This accomplised what I would say is the 2/3 drop that leveled the truck out and fits the 22's just fine...with room to probably go 1 more inch front & rear if I wanted.
22's I am running are 295/35 in size if I am not mistaken...if you run the 305's I would say you probably don't want to go any lower then what I did or else you may rub.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check into it.
Oh yeah, how did the ride quality feel after you put the shackles on the rear?
Here is mine. First nice day up here in the NW, so I threw the 22" reps on the truck.
Im lowered 2" up front and just over 4 in the rear. It has maybe a .25-.5" rake. Almost dead level.
Front - Belltech coils w/o isolators, KYB Monomax shocks (spec'ed for Lightning w/4" drop)
Rear - Belltech drop leafs, Belltech shackles on 2" setting, KYB shocks
I love the way the truck rides. I have always had lowered cars (came from an Audi A4 on coilovers) so I dont mind an aggressive ride. I have the L rear sway bar that helps with handling a ton.
x2 that'd be what I wanna go for!
