Lowering question

I have 22x9.5 akuza rims with 285x45x22 will I have any rubbing issues if I lower the truck 3/5. I will use helper bags in the back and probably raise the back to 4.5 for the daily driver. Anyone that has done this your comments would be greatly appreciated. I know that I will have to readjust the carrier bearing, I have an 2008 screw with the two piece drive shaft.

I was also thinking of the eibach 4" replacement leaf pack with the belltech adjustable strut up front. I was going to drop th front 2.5 the rear 4" with the possability of using the gf one or two inch drop shackle. If Iwanted to lower the back more than 4" I beause I like the slight raked look. For the towing part I would use the firestone helper air bag kit.

P.S.
Thanks for everones posative input. I know you guys have been there already, so any problems you know about and can give me a heads up on it. Would be greatly appreciated

Nothing is set in stone with your truck. This was my truck in April 2005

On your air bag kit who did you use, I am hearing comments about airbagit.com and none of them are posative. They look like nice kits from the pix and the tech line seems to beknowledgeable about their product????
