What would you guys recommend for lowering with 20" rims? 275/30-20 out back and 245/35-20 up front. Trying to avoid rolling any fenders if possible. Is a 1.5" drop too much? Rubbing issues?

Even with an .8'' drop on springs with 18 inch wheels and 265/40 tires i had rubbing issues sometimes and got my fenders rolled.

1.5'' is definitely too much low with 20'' wheels if you don't want your fenders rolled, but its actually worth it.

Those are pretty big wheels for a 350..

You need to look into getting a camber kit also that will help you because you can "tuck" the tires under the wells...
