Default Will KYB shocks make a diffrence?

I have a 4/6 drop on my crew cab with some beltech shocks, but my front tires rub on the inside. Will the KYB shocks make a diffrence or should i put on my stock tires on because i have 22 inch rim with a 35 series tire?

Shocks will not change or help the rubbing of your tire on the inside edge.
You will either need to change the rim for a different offset or rim width, or try and use a wheel spacer. Though I don't believe in wheel spacers, they are known to be dangerous.
I personally think your using the wrong size width rim.
How wide are the rims on the front?

Width isn't important as the backspacing/offset. I assume they hit when you go over a bump. If so, stiffer shocks will help to an extent. You say 35 series, you running a 265/35/22 or a 285/35/22?
