22 inches always look good. but will you lose a lot of comfort?
I worry it so i still can make up my mind

I have 22s and it rides fine. thats because I got HRE wheels which are lighter than the stock 20s. ANY OTHER WHEELS PROBABLY WOULDNT BE AS GOOD

22's are the ideal size for our trucks but then you have to lower it to make it look right. The thing that people don't realize is it stiffens up the ride when you do that. And that's tollerable, but what ends up happening when you lower vehicle is that everything starts to come lose and you'll start to get squeaks and rattles and all sorts of annoying little noises. If you can live with that then go for it.

yea Im thinking 22's, I wouldnt mind a little stiffer ride than what it is now, but if squeaks and rattles are a product of doing it then ehhhh. Im skeptical.

If the vehicle is lowered with the CORRECT set up you will experience no problems what so ever. Use high quality springs (or an electronic lowering module, if equipped with AIRMATIC) and you will not have any problems. Go for 22" and drop it. You will LOVE the look, the handling and the increased road grip. Remember to not skimp on the tires -- go for something quality like a Michilen or Pirelli. I am running 285/35/22 Mich on mine with ZERO problems.
