34's & 3.55's with 5.0L!?

I am curious to see if you guys think the 34" Tall tire (295-60-20) is too tall for the stock 3.55's with the 5.0L engine!?
I am really torn on whether to go with the 305-55-20's or the above tire setup.

I will be running the 2" AS spacers and mounting the tires on the XD Spy wheels 20x8.5" +18 offset.

Your advice!?

The slight loss in power will be about the same with either size. I've ran both sizes and currently run the 295/60's. My EB has 3.73's so you may feel the loss a bit more with your 3.55's. You should expect to see a loss of anywheres from 2- 3 mpg. Like ak_cowboy said, do it and post pics.
