To get the extra 2" up front your going to need spindles. Cnotch out back & either put the leaf springs under the axle or go with drop leafs (reduces payload/tow rating even more)
22s fit without issues if the bs is right and you dont go too wide/tall on the rubber.
Ive got 285/35 on my 22x9.5"(6"BS/18mm OS) AR Burns in chrome. Kind of similar to the SRT10 rims, just a sht load cheaper.

Also, you will want to replace the stock trans crossmember as well. Be very little clearance pulling into driveways n such otherwise. Belltech makes them or could make your own.

I got my rims off ebay, they were 1300 plus shp.
Only found 20s listed at the moment. Took me a while to find them when I got them last year. Think they were from discountwheels ebay store, cant find the bill though so not positive

If you go with arms, best to get the uppers adjustable and with zerks top/bottom cause they will squeek otherwise
