Ok well I just got off the phone with this guy at discount and I think he has no idea what he is talking about. I told him I wanted a tire that was about as tall as my factory tire which is a 245/75/16 to keep the same performance. I asked if the 275/45/20 was about it and he said that is 2 inches shorter than my stock tires. Then he suggested a 285/55/20 but that was still one inch shorter. I so confused right now.

Those tires are approx. 31" tall, which will fill the fender gap nicely and give you decent ride quality. If you plan in dropping the truck more in the future, I might consider 22's. Bigger wheels look better on dropped vehicles (especially when they tuck in the finder wells

I have 285-50-20 on a 2/4 Drop... On a 2" Shackle drop, I'd recommend a 275-55-20... A bit taller and narrower than the 285-50... Comes stock on all GMT-800 and 900... Will fill in the Fender Gap more...
Use this...VERY Helpful when researching tire size...

here is 285/50/20 with stock suspension. they fill the fenderwell pretty well on the front but mine sits higher in the back cause of the coil over shocks i have. i haul alot of stuff. just picture it lower in the back.
it actually looks better when i load it down. kinda levels out the truck but if i drop the back i'll end up dragging my pipes
