Help on lowering coils to fit 20" rim

I need a set of front coils to lower my truck as low as possible. I will be running a 2 1/2" drop spindle with 20"/8.5" rim and a tire 255/35/20 height of 27" total. Does anyone know if I can run a 2" drop coil and have no rubbing issue's?

Re: Help on lowering coils to fit 20" rim

Everything depends on the "backspacing" of the wheels. They must tuck inside the fenders to work. Too low,... and they'll rub the inner fenders.

The backspacing on the rim is 5"
