Re: 4.5/6 drop and Tire sizes

45s are possible but I pulled the backspacing back just a tad to make it work.

5 3/8 in the front 255/45/20 on an 8.5" wheel
5 5/8 in the rear 295/45/20 on a 10" wheel

.. yes, its splitting hairs but I thought it looked great. 255/40 is just a little dangerous for potholes and stuff IMO, I just like a little more sidewall.

You could also do 18s, same backspacing and your tire sidewalls would be a bit more meaty. Just a thought. SactoJims truck is awesome and hes running 18s. ( will be a little cheaper too )

Just thinking out loud..
