That's one of the best trucks. I would not sell it. You will regret selling it..
If the 22.5's are the problem, you could switch to 19.5's and shorter tires (32-34"). There really is no reason to have 22.5's on a pickup anyways. That size tires' high weight rating can never be used to anywhere near their full extent with a pickup. 19.5's have plenty high weight rating for anything a pickup can carry.
You will most definitely regret selling the truck. That truck has many, many, many years of service left in it. you won't find anything comparable for a reasonable price to replace it.
As SoCal said, 22.5's are waaaayyy more than you need. Dropping to a smaller wheel and tire will still give you more capacity than you need.
