going to order cooper zeon ltz's in a 305/40/22, what about suspension

I am going to order the cooper zeon ltz's in 305/40/22 because of the look and great price. i have kuhmo 305/45/22's now but im tired of the street tire look and I really like the look and price of these. My question is leave the truck stock height, 2" leveling kit or take the block out of the back and level it that way? These tires will be about 1/2 of an inch less diameter than the stock 18 tires and about 3/4 of an inch less than my street tires now. I know I can go with a bigger 22" tire but the prices are high. you can see pics of the truck now in my gallery.

anyway just looking for opinions and pics!!

Leave the block, level the front and put 33's on black 20's.

I dont think 305/40/22's will look good on a FX4. I have that size on my truck and I'm lowered 2/5 and it looks perfect. I would get 33/12.50/20's and get a leveling kit for the front.

I went to the discount tire website and did some more checking ahd those tires will 1.2" smaller than my 305/45 tires. I believe that will just be too small. I was thinking about getting the pirelli atr's in a 305/45/22. I believe I can get a great price on them and keep my 33" tires. I know I will put a leveling kit on the front if I get this size. what do you guys think?

Honestly, for an "off road" look, I'd want at least a 37 inch tire with 22's. If you don't want to lift the truck, I'd go with some 20's and 33's. Also, the Pirelli ATR is oem equipment on the new trucks with 20's and the reviews have been pretty bad.

Well I have the 22's already so I will not be changing them out for 20's. I just want the truck to have a good look with the tires I pick. I do not want people to say, why does he have a car tire on that 4wd. I know I have 22's on it but I got them and the tires for 500 dollars when I bought them, so I could not pass them up. I have read the reviews on here and on tirerack and some hate them and some love them. Decisions really suck!!
