I went to the 285/50 because of the rubbing on big dips. Now I've got more fender gap than I'd like. I can't imagine a 305/50 fitting on the stock wheels or wheel well without some modification. Are you rocking caliper covers?

I put 305/50 on my stock wheels with no issues except for slight rubbing on my sway bar at full lock turns

Going to hit them all the time at 5", that's why I recommend using the 2" bump stops in the rear and getting new 1.25" stops for the front.

Which bump stops did you get for rear. Strait bolt on or did you have to modify?

I have read people put 285 50 r20 on a 3/5 drop

That's the perfect tire size IMO for running stock 20's. Even with your 8" wide wheels that size still looks proper. That's what I went with on my Belltech drop and I love it. No regrets. 305/50 wont fit well or look good on your 8" wheel and the 275/55 doesn't look as good, but it's an alternative.

That looks really great! I'm getting ready to do the same thing, gonna do the 2/4 drop and then just trim it here and there to make adjustments.

How did you manage to trim the front springs down?? Or is your truck 2wd??

The 4x4 front coils are pigtailed so cutting a coil out isn't an option...
