    I have 20 inch tires that came stock. Black black rims. I want to lift it. Kings front and rear. JBA UCA HD High caster. 2 inch lift rear springs. Not going to wheel the truck. Not allowed YET!
    Should I change the tires and rims to 17 inch? Or will the 20 inch still look nice and full?

    Your tires are 20"? I'm assuming you meant you have 20" wheels. Your question doesn't really make sense. You can always buy bigger tires for 20" wheels if they don't look "full". I personally would never own 20" wheels not my jam, so I vote for 17"s and some all terrain tires.

    If you plan to get bigger tires you will probably need new wheels. OEM Limited/Nightshade wheels are narrow (7 inches) with +15mm offset. That means you need to stay around 255-265 max width and some could see your options as pizza cutter look if you want to go with taller tires to "fill" the wheel well. That said, many run 275/55r20 on stock wheels without any reported issues. Not much taller but it gives a better stance in my opinion. Personally I would try it with your current tire/wheel setup first. After that, consider that 20" wheels have an advantage on-road and 17" wheels have an advantage off-road. Both will do both tough !
