I am thinking about gettin the Hotchkis TVS for my truck since I want a whole suspension package and a decent drop for my truck. Right now I have 305/40/22 for my tires. Can I run these or do I have to go with a smaller tire? I'm not wanting to go really low or have really small tires. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I lowered my 2000 F-150 with a 3/4 Belltech drop, and I had 255/70R16 stockers on there, which worked out to be 30.6" tall. Yours work out to be about an inch taller, which would be fine. But they're a whole lot wider. The front bumper would be all I would worry about, you can trim the inner fender well and the rears won't be a problem at all.

But that's why the good lord invented Sawzalls.

Our 2000 Expy has the same front wheel openings.

We dropped it with a Belltech 2" drop kit (dropped the rear a little more than the front, but the rear is adjustable/air).

We've run 295 and 285 series tires, on 18" and 20" wheels, with no problem. At that mild drop, there's a lot of room under there. 305 is only a centimeter wider. I wouldn't worry about the front.
