Default lowering and wheels

ive found the wheels that i want. Boss 315 22x9.5, Super Finish. my question is how much drop should i do to make the truck still look stout and really set off the wheels. also what size tire would be good. i want it to ride just as good if not better than it does now. with a stiffer take off but not bouncy ride. i had a 94 nissan pickup that was lowered with 18's and it rode like crap. i want to do this right the first time.

any help would be appreciated.

Im gonna go with a 2/4.5 deluxe drop from Mcgaughys. I personally like a little rake front to back. Most peeps however seem to like 4/6 and a more level stance. Its all personal preference. I think these rigs would look sweet with either drop and 22's. Post pics when you get the new sneaks

my thing is that i dont know if i want to go with that much drop. im kinda thinking about just leveling the rear out and keeping the front right where it is. still not shure though.

you might want to get the new sneaks installed and then go from there. You will be able to gauge what drop your looking for with new wheels and tires installed. If you go just rear drop then drop shackles will be all ya'll need.
