i am about to order my tires/wheels, and my lift kit. I am ordering the Zone 6" Suspension Lift & Zone 3" Body Lift, I want to run 22"x14" Wheels with -76mm offset. I am planning on 37x13.5x22 tires. First off, is this possible, second, if it is, can it be done without trimming anything?

I would not run a tire that is skinnier than the wheels. Why a 14" wide wheel anyway? I wouldn't run less than 15.5" wide tire on that.

I would reconsider Zone, I've heard a few bad things about the quality of their products, I would stick with a Performance Accessories Body lift and go with a Rough Country 6" suspension lift. I would also not run a wider rim than the tire, not only is that dangerous, it looks stupid, but thats just my opinion. I would also think that wide of a rim and low of an offset will cause some rubbing issues, so you may want to spend a little more money and get a lift thats a full 6" drop so it can be cranked a little more. BDS is probably your best bet...

I like the look of a slightly stretched tire and I want the deepest wheel available. Something about the look of an OBS with 10" of wheel and tire on the outside of the body that makes it look badass to me.

I have only heard good things about Zones Suspension lifts and owned a Zone body lift that was great. I have seen 2 RCX lifts on OBS trucks that were owned by friends of mine and they both hated them. they squeeked and bound up and weren't full 6" drops.

What do you mean by slightly stretched? You realize the tread will be skinnier than the width of the wheel? The tire will be trying to pull itself off the bead as soon as they are mounted to the wheels.

The toyota is a little extreme on the tire stretch.

Here is a shot of the exact wheel and tire setup. same brands, same size, same offset. only difference is, it's mounted on a ford.
