You need Helper bags in the back.

You are having this problem on the stock suspension?

If you drop it, the problem will be worse.

You need to measure the distance (inside the spring) between the top perch and the bottom perch.

I run Airlift 60742 with drop springs.

22's should not rub though....:think:

Helper bags should not be your first resort.
Install the drop kti first, then trim the areas of the fender liners (plastic in the wheel area) that it is rubbing on.
I have a 3/5 drop on 26" rims and do not have helper bags, so I doubt you will need them.

Depends on how heavy those 6 people are.
Yesterday I had me, my 185 lb brother, 205 lb brother, 185 lb friend, and 60 lb little brother in the car and I only rub on big dips.

I also forgot to mention my 200 lb stereo system.
I don't have a spare tire or third row though.
