A 4/6 will definitely be driveable & should look good w/22's. The big issue will be utilizing the appropriate sized tire. My tires have almost a 4" sidewall & I get nervous around potholes, 22's will be worse. Also, along w/tire size, wheel backspacing is even more critical if you go more than 4/6.

I can't help w/recommending shops around Austin, but I know of a good one in the DFW area. Lowering is nothing an avg joe couldn't do in their driveway w/some backround research.

Check w/Summit for drop parts/kits or visit sporttruckdirect.com. My truck has 3" spindles & 1 coil cut from stock 74 v8 coils up front & a flip kit + 2" shackles out back, has 18's & 20's & I currently drive it daily.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
