What up Big L!

Yes you can put on 22's and no you don't have to upgrade your brakes. The upgraded brakes could help with better stopping, but it is not necessary. The question with putting on 22's is which tire you are going to go with. Is your truck lowered or not? 4x4 or not?

Thumbs up Well

Every1 on here is right. No you don;t have to have new brakes but it would be a good idea to get the synthetic i think their called brakes. Or a cheaper way to go is to get the brake dust shields, they go on the rotor behind the rim they work really well and look great. Really the only thing that bigger rims and tires effects is your speed gauge.
