i agree. putting 20's on a stock suspension doesn't look right. either you have to lower it and get low profile tires for the sport truck look. or get at least a 3-6 inch lift and AT tires for the off road look.

i've seen a stock EC Z71 with 20's and low profile tires on a stock suspension,

I say do the 20's w/ the 305/55 tire, that looks killer IMO.

horse258: How much lift does your truck have?

I'm in the same situation, been considering just raising the front to match the rear and go with bigger tires on the 17's.

3 inch body lift and the front end turned up just a little to level the truck.
but i think a 2 inch kit would clear them.
