Factory is 275/55-20, I have 285/50-20 and my drop is about 2ish-3/4 on a 4x4, which is about 2/2 on a 2wd. I think I'd rub if I brought it down another 2", but not much. I think alot of guys run 275/45-20 with 2/4 or 3/4 drops.

I've ran both 285/50R20 and 275/55R20, with my 3-5 drop. They both just barely rubbed only when backing up and turning sharp(parking lots). That was the only time. I also ran 275/45R20 with no rub ever, but they looked too small on the truck to me.
