Laying frame on 22's and dropmember ????

I recently bought a KP components step notch and have finally decided to break down and get a dropmember (next time Nathan has a sale). I completely missed the sale in Dec. I currently have 18's all the way around, but plan to eventually switch to 20's in the front and 22's in the rear.

My questions are: Can I lay the rear frame on 22's using the stock trailing arm architecture (I plan to build a new set of arms out of 2x3 tubing)? I want the front and back to sit even, so how much lift will I get with the dropmember and ART arms? Where do I mount the bags to get the same lift in the rear? Lastly, I do have a triangulated four link, which I could use, but it seems like it would be more trouble to install because I want to stick with the original 12 bolt rear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I plan to install the notch this weekend, but want to make sure I lay it our right for airspring placement etc.
