i have done a body drop on a friends ride and i know it is a pain
but that is what you do for something custom
your kinda right on that but you are also adding a 22 inch wheel up front compared to a 20 inch wheel. tire sizes are gonna be way off unless you set your body drop up to the height of the new tires. i run a 265/35/22 on front which is about 31 inches all together. i got a 7 inch body drop and when i haul it it put a bump stop on the front control arm and it raises it a inch so i can strap it. when i inatially did my body drop i did it for 20s and had to redo it. hell my 24s are about 3 inches from the back of the bed cover right now when aired out. just droping my 2 cents.
