Ga,
Wanna swap my factory 22 inch for 20's
Any suggestions on tires for the 20s to fill up the fender well without scrubbing?

295/55/20 - Borderline - If you have air suspension you can probably avoid any rubbing, also very limited offerings.
275/60/20 - Easiest and plenty of options
265/60/20

285/55/20
305/50/20

Yeah..I contacted custom offsets and checked the 275 60 20 for fitment with a 20x10 wheel but they said it would require trimming..not sure about that but think it may be ok..the stock width is 22 x 9 if I can get the offset right without making the truck look like a skate though...

275 60 on a 20x10 with a 0 offset and up will be fine.
I'm 22x10 on -25 and 305/45/22 and it clears.

I dare say you can go up to a -12 and be fine. But if you want a mild look go with <0+

I'm running 285/60/r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my OEM 20 inch wheels. The truck is not leveled or lifted and it doesn't have the off road package. The tires do rub against the plastic wheel liner just a bit in reverse when doing a full turn. I could trim the plastic piece with shears, but so far it hasn't annoyed me enough to do so. A few pics.

It's funny. I don't see a lot of people running 295/60r20 like I have. It's a great setup and thus far I love the ride and these Toyo AT's are great. I got rid of my 22's for 20x9 with a zero offset and I couldn't be happier.

Looks good. I also prefer a 20 inch wheel. I'm running 285/60r20 Ridge Grapplers on mine and I like them a lot. Minimal increased noise and a nice ride. I did lose about 1 MPG though.

Did you notice any difficulties with the air ride ?

I put the revel links on first and ran that for a few weeks, lost OR2 and the ride was much firmer. Then I added the day started spacer and everything works like it did before and it's been like driving on a pillow ever since. This is the best riding truck I've ever owned and I've had all the American brands.

Links plus spacers and a taller tire is the only way to go and all of my airride settings work perfectly.

Assume the links/spacer are not MOPAR? If no...can you be specific as to what you used? cost? Did you do install yourself?
What wheels are those?
What do you mean, lost OR2? Is this due to the higher front end, basically leveling the truck, so now only have 4 modes from E/E to OR1?
Do you have ORP or no?

BTW ……...great looking truck!!
