2-4 comfortably if you really dont want to do much work to it.

1st:

from the Heart of Arkansas!

2nd: What are the streets/roads like that you'll be driving on?

You're talking about a static drop, so remember that where you drop it to, is where it will be, where ever you drive. I have a 2/4 drop on a swb. You're looking at a c-notch, plus hangers/shackles, and spindles/springs up front. The 22's you want to run? You need to seriously consider how much room you're gonna have for them....tire diameter is the issue.

Depending on the tire diameter, you may have clearance issues. Too large a diameter tire and it will rub when you turn fairly sharply...on the inside of the wheel well as well as on the bottom side of the wheel opening...like at the top of the opening. May have to roll the fender opening to clear the tires.

thank you that is what i was thinking. does anyone have pictures of an extended cab truck with a 2/4 drop so i can get an idea of what it will look like. preferably sitting on 22" wheels.
