Default Help me find direction with my truck!

I'm struggling to figure out what I want to do with my truck. Right now it's leveled on 275/60r20 and Pro Comp wheels. In the next few years I'd like to add some more power adders, such as a turbo kit, cam and 4l80e swap.

I need new tires and I'm trying to decide between replacing the current tires with the same ones or going to some factory 20s on 275/55 for better mileage and slightly better performance. If I went the latter route, I'd be taking off the leveling kit and doing a 2/3 drop. I'm kinda ready for a change though I still love the look and get compliments almost daily. Recommendations??

Thanks! I love the look but I'm torn with the street truck look too. Especially with the plans I have for it.

I would drop it down to see what it looks like with this set up but I'm pretty sure it would rub like crazy.

Would these wheels look dumb on a lowered truck?

After thinking for a couple days, I am leaning more towards going down to a 285/50r20 on the same wheels. Later on when I can afford it I'll get the other wheels.

I've been looking at the Nitto 420s and the Michelin Latitude Tour HP. Both have great reviews and look good. I'm just curious if my truck would look dumb on a 2/3 with my current wheels.
