Default Joe Gibbs to RST drop and tire size

Im thinking of replacing my 275/55/20's with 275/45's and installing a Ground Force 9937 (1.3 front 3 rear) drop kit, basically making it sit like an RST. Im getting tired of my worn out Bilstein shocks and tall sidewalls. Want it to handle a little more like a car instead of the barn it is lol. Think this would be a good idea? Any pics of 275/45's on your truck would be sweet. Also ride/handling comments if you have an RST would be appreciated. Thanks!

Only thing I would recommend is to add a c-notch in the rear, so the axle has a bit more travel.
