When to upgrade brakes??? 22's?

Well I went ahead and pulled the trigger for some 22's with 305/45/22's. I am reading and have heard brake upgrades are a good idea.

My question is since this is my first set of over-sized wheel/tire combo's. You guys with experience what should i do/upgrade to not damage or make my truck happier with this setup?

Truck is a 2002 SuperCrew 5.4 4x4

yep.....

06+ harleys/limiteds have been using 22's for awhile now and some have upgraded their 97-03 to that also with no effects...

if you were going to go larger diameter tires also like 35"+ then you'd should address gears and brakes....or driving it at the track....
