Default 275/55r20 on 3/6 drop

I was just wondering if anybody's ever ran 275/55r20s on a 3/6 drop. I know this in kinda of the preferred size for a 2/4 drop, but wasn't sure if I could get away with them on the 3/6

Thanks in advance

Those will rub in the front for sure.

If the truck is an 07+ you can go all the way to a 4/6 (4/7) drop. As GMCtrk stated, the 99-07 classic is already kind of low so a shorter tire is a must

Where will they rub? I'm looking to do a 3/4 and keep my 275/55-20.

Probably outter fender and inside wheel wells at full lock
I ran a 275/45 on a 4/6 drop on my 2001. I also ran the 275/55s, but took a lot of cutting the fenders to roll them up. An had to lose both plastic liners
