You can lay 22s on those trucks no problem on stock arms and drop spindles. Instead of modding the shit out of the lower arms, try pie cutting the frame behind the spring pocket. At the edge of your spring pocket cut out for bags, mark about 5" behind and 3/4" up and take out that pie shape. Then clamp it back together to close in the gap and weld it up, you can barely tell it was touched and gives a pile of extra room.
