Huh? 4wd or 2wd? do you mean 2/3 drop? Also, 20" wheels may prove to be just a tad too small.... To see what I mean by this look at a 2015 Limited's 22" wheels....They are just about perfect for a drop but undersized for stock or lifted, total diameter wise.

McGaughy's 2/4 drop, Crown Suspension's 2/4 drop, or Belltech's new 2/4 drop kit are about your choices. As for effects on drive train....none if done correctly. driveshaft and pinion angle should always be checked after a drop or lift, though most dont, and if out of spec it can be corrected. Think drive line specialist shop.

We, the lowered crowd, as few so we must kinda stick together...lol Hopefully more of us will chime in here....

Being flush is a transfer of wheel offset....to be flush most go with a +30et wheel.

I think Boosted has this one in the bag. Those seem to be the drops guys are going with. 2/4 would work for what you are looking for. With it being lowered, 20's would probably work, but 22's would look better IMHO. I have 22's just sitting waiting for spring to come, I can't wait.

You should have no issues with a 2/4 for any of the drive line.
