Zeon LTZ or Terra Grappler or ...

Just after a quick look on Cooper's website and price checking on tread depot, those 275/65/20's are load range E tires, which is a heavier tire, but also substantially more expensive.
For example (using Tread Depot prices) a 275/60/20 LT Zeon (stock size) is going for 182 each, the 275/65/20 load range E tire is going for $290 each. Same thing with the 305/55's cooper only offers them in load range E. maybe thats what your looking for, but you can save some substantial coin by going with either the 305/50's or 275/60's in a standard LT load rating.
Just my 2c

John M, those look really good on your truck. They dont rub the UCA when the wheel is fully turned?

Zero contact anywhere under any driving conditions. I've had Zenons for about 35k miles and just put 2 new ones on the back. I'll probably put 2 more on the front in the coming weeks. Some people may complain about "only" 35k miles from a set of tires but I've always worn out my car tires within 20-25k so this was above average.
305/50 is actually a little shorter than stock. It's an inch less in diameter than stock, lowering the truck by half an inch. With a 3% difference in diameter, my (admittedly poor) math skills suggest that this changes my effective gearing from 3.92 to 4.03.
