If you're 2wd I'd say do a 3" you don't have to worry bout cv joints

If you just want it leveled,the cheapest tour is to put 2" drop shackles.I'm running 24" wheels and still have clearance.nice and level.

I dont know the price on those but a level block can be under a $100 for a diy project.

My drop shackles were 40 bucks...there are many diffrent ways you can go.I just ordered McGaughys 2/4 drop kit.its a flip kit for the rear and 2" coil spring lowering for the front.just not sure it gonna work with my new wheels.

I think it would be tight since 325/50/22 is about a 35" tire. I say do the level then have the tires mounted up front to see if they will fit, some places let you try a tire to make sure it fits.
And buy your 3" leveling kit from Hell Bent Steel it's online, like $79 I think and it's an easy install
