I don't notice any difference in my stockers and my 20's. although.......I have some pretty light centerlines and a slightly shorter tire. 275/45/20. I think the biggest problem folks face when installing 20's is the huge tires they put with them. a 275/55 is a 32" tire and a 285/50 is a 31.5" tire. both of these are larger than the factory 30" tire and the extra diameter is what they feel.
I did notice a difference when I went from the 275/55 to the 275/45. a little more grunt out of the hole.
No matter how much they cost me in acceleration I wouldn't trade my 20's any day of the week. Besides these are TRUCKS.....not dragsters.

i can feel a sotp diff in my twenties. i went with centerlines as well and my tires are lighter and shorter than what i was previously running on the stock wheel. my tires are wider so it keeps me planted on the two to one downshift but at zero to wot i still burn them over. 3200 stall is to thank for that. all in all, i think my combo is about 10 pounds or so lighter per wheel than my stockers with my 31" tall tires. maybe more.
