I'm running 305/45R22 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my factory 22's, not suspension changes at all thus far, really made the truck look more aggressive and they protect the rims from curb rash.

kevin23, just my personal opinion, but if you are 4X4, I'd consider using 18" wheels instead of 22". Tires/wheels are less expensive, and IMO, sidewall looks good, less car like. And if you use P series, instead of LT's, your ride just might be a little better. Doesn't sound like you intend to haul any heavy loads, so the P series likely would be fine.
A mild lift, something like 2"spacer, and 3" blocks, again IMO,would look good. Don't stack blocks though, not a good idea, plus from what I've read here, appears to be illegal. I've never seen that officially, but,,,,,,,
Good luck with what ever you decide.

It's a limited they come factory with 22s why waste the money unless your planning on a lift, then again why buy a limited when you can buy an FX4

I bought a limited because I liked the overall look of the truck and the red interior was really nice. I didn't like the look of the skinny tires on the 22" wheels from the beginning. I thought that I would be able to change out the tires to something with a more aggressive look and taller sidewall a little easier than I have found.
