Default 2/4 drop on 275/55/20s? 09 silverado

Don't really know where to post this but I was wondering if I could do a 2/4 drop on my silverado. It has the factory Texas edition wheels with brand new falken 275/55/20s. It's 2wd, and I'm kind of tires of people confusing it with a 4wd so I want to drop it some.
This is it:

You can measure from center of hub to top of fenderwell to get a better visual of where the truck will sit.

Many people have dropped 4/7 with that size tire, very minimal rubbing if any. You'll be fine with a 2/4.

2/4 on a NBS truck and those tires work perfectly, a 2/4 on a NNBS has even more wheel gap, so you will be more than fine!

Go with the lowering strut by Belltech in the front. It will increase the ride quality a bit in the front.
