I don't think you have to shorten your rear end. I do know you have to cut out part of the fender flare lip to tuck them. I don't have bags but I know a guy that has 22x9.5 and he has no problems with the drop.

get the right offset and u should be fine, maybe

Yeah I think he has 15mm offset but I am not for sure about that. If you have 8's I don't think you will have a problem.

ive got a ford 9 inch in mine its 4 inches shorter than stock you can look at my offset and 4inches more narrow rearend is kinda close (76 ford truck) bolt pattern is the same and my truck is stock floored on 20 soon to be 22s

I would just get a ford 9" with the same boltpattern and use that. It will probably be cheaper and if you ever decided to change gears i bet they would be cheaper. Im thinking about doing that myself down the line.
