best ride quality on 22's
 
Looking for about a 2 inch drop. I know the rousch kit and hotchins are top of the line, which has a more comfortable ride?

Also what do you think about just doing control arms in the front with stock springs for about a 2 inch drop and then hotchins rear leafs and some drop shackles?

truck is a 2003

also any recommendations for a better shock?

Thanks

The tires have a LOT to do with the ride quality. The Hankook 285/35/22 RH06 tires I had on mine were very smooth! I would buy then again in a second.

wow, did not think they had much to do with ride quality, maybe traction. I guess depends on how soft the sidewalls are??

anyone running 22's with a drop?

As the new owner of Shock's wheels and tires, I can agree. I was PLEASANTLY surprised how well the Hankook 22's ride.
I have a 3" shackle drop and am working on the Roush setup now.

Shock Therapy, excuse hijack, but
 
would like to know whose rims are those? Manufacturer, model, size, source, and price (if you don't mind me asking) Thanks!

How do they compare to the f1's? Traction, wear, etc.

285/35/22 Nitto 555 Extreme's with 2" coils and a 4" shackle.. love the ride.. 22's hook 10 times better than my toyo's.. wear much quicker though.. wouldnt trade my nitto's for anything..
