Default lowest drop for a daily 245/45/20's pics of yours?

my truck (04 rcsb) is just to high for my liking i need to bring it down, i want to lowest i can go on 245/45/20 (28.5" to 29" depending on tire brand) with out having to cut up the truck for clearance or giving up to much ride quality

if you can post up your truck and what drop you have and if you had to hack up any thing be appreciated to

275/45/20 rubs only on large dips or bumps. Been running this size over 10 years without major issues.

For a daily I'd probably stick with a more conservative 2/4. Spindles up front retains the stock geometry and a flip kit in the rear a similar effect to retain stock ride quality.

All the paint is still good as most my rubbing was on the right rear. I carefully rolled the RR beds sheet metal lip with a large pair of channel locks and most of the rubbing is now gone. There is a couple very small places on the fronts wheelhouse plastics where it's rubbed slightly. When I need tires again I'll probably go with the same 275/45/20 size.

I am running ride tech coil-overs and a 2” drop spindle up front. Rides great and no rubbing. I also have mickey thompson SS radials out back 275/40. Looks like plenty if room but i still gotta drop the rear another 2”
