Need Advice
Gentlemen,
So I need advice and insight...I have a 2012 F150 Lariat 4x4 (6.2L) and I would like to go with a wheel and tire set of 22x10 or 22x11 on 325/50/22 (nittos) for an aggressive look. I'm wonder what's the minimum lift do I do need for this configuration? How's the ride? Steering issues? I'm mostly road driver, but I do hunt and go off road from time to time.
I've seen some withe 6" lifts on the site and some with Rancho 4" (I know they're discontinued), but I live in the DC area whereas I have to drive into DC enough whereas I have to consider the parking garages. Most in DC are 6'5" or 6'7".
Excuse my ignorance on lifted trucks because this will be my first one. Previous setup I had was a F150 on 24s with 2" lowered kit.
Any and all input is welcome. Thanks.

Base height of the 2012 F150 4x4 is 6'6". You lift it at all and you aren't going underground.
I drive a stock 2012 FX4 and I just barely clear the 6'8" garages.

I have a 2013 F-150 which I put 22X9.5 rims on with 305/45/22 Nitto Tires,
ride did not change where you would notice, handles about the same as it did with factory 275/55/20 Goodyear tires on it, still stock, no lift on truck. if you check out the link below, it will give you a comparison on tire sizes,
