Is there any way you can get the truck rolling? I have about the same drop and the first set of front tires I bought didn't work. I had to take it somewhere to get the right size. Sorry if I'm not more help

Yes you can keep your inner fenders with that drop, that's what I have on mine. I'll have to see what size tire I put on the front.

Re: 5.5/7 drop with 20" wheels help!

I have done a great deal of research to find a tire size. As your setup is the exact ride height. I will also be putting the same 20" 338's on. Here is what I am going with. Front 245/40/20 rear either 255/35/20 or if I can afford them 295/40/20. Hope that helps
