I think that clearance will be an issue that is a wide tire on an 20 inch rim. 22 will make that 305 even greater. what is the backspacing on the rims. If it is a 5.5 you might be ok. But still think that for sure it will rub with that 305 and the 3/5 drop. I would do 2/4

it will rub for sure. And i would never try and put a 5" drop on the rear of these trucks... it rides like crap and it's way too much of a hassle and it still won't sit level.
even if it was a 265/40 on a perfect backspacing 22, it might still rub... now a 2/4 on the other hand MIGHT work, but check out the backspacing first.

A friend of mine runs 265/35-22's on a 2/4 and he couldn't run any taller of a tire.

And i have a 2/4 on my NBS RCSB with 22" and im running a 265/40/22 tire, so i dont understand how your friend couldnt have atleast run that size.
That tire size with that much a drop will rub for sure

A 5" with drop springs and a notch will ride better than 4" springs with no notch.
Get it now?
You have more backspacing then he does. Understand now?
