noticeable difference?

Hey guys, I will be putting a 1.5 level and a set of 20's on my 2011, and I have picked out the wheels and tires, just stuck on 2 different tire sizes. It's between a 275-60-20 and 285-55-20. The only bad thing about the 275-60's are they are a p rated tire, and I have Never had any luck with p rated tires on a pickup(and dont plan on putting them on by choice). Now the 285-55's are a d rated LT 8 ply, the only bad thing about the 285-55's is they are a little shorter than I want, bein 32.4" tall(about 1/2" taller than stock), and about $25 more per tire. I'm not a big fan of super wide tires or rubbing, so the 305-55-20's are out of the question. So, am I gonna notice much of a difference between the 275-60-20 (33x11) and the 285-55-20 (32.4x11.5)? Anyone have pictures of either tire on their truck?
Thanks
Adam M

Im not a fan of P-rated tires on trucks, I would keep looking until you find what you want.

Well, after some more digging every 275-60-20 A/T I found is a p rated tire....so that's out of the question. The hankook dynapro atm's in 285-55-20 are LT's with an E rating, which is mostly what. I want a D or E rated LT around 33" tall. I feel that the 275-65-20's being 34" tall would look Really stuffed under there with just a 1.5" level... Does anybody have any pics of 285-55-20's on their pickup, stock height or leveled?
