I love this this set up. Currently shopping for a similar lift so I can fit this size tire under there.

My pleasure!
I agonized over tire/lift combos myself and relied on folks who shared their info\experience\pics here so I'm happy to be able to pass any info I have along.
Be aware that there is a surprising MPG penalty for swapping out for the grapplers, which are much heavier, less aero and have a much higher rolling resistance. Went from 15 mpg around town avg to about 13 mpg and that is with the instant mpg screen up as default as a reminder
Granted the speedo isn't adjusted for the larger tire diameter so the mpg are skewed to the low side. Well worth it in my opinion but something to consider for sure.Planning a call to Black Bear to see if I can reclaim some economy and performance.

So just to confirm, not too much rubbing with the 295/55r20s?
Some of the pics look like there is too much tire stuffed under the truck. (Not wide enough stance) Is it just the way the pics make it look? I hope so because I love the profile look.
I'm waiting for my CCM kit to be delivered and I have 295/55 Toyo AT2s waiting at the tire shop for me to bring my new replica 20s.

To be honest I am probably going to go with a BFG All-Terrain K02. I have had them on my previous vehicles and loved them.
As far as the fuel economy goes it doesnt bother me. I'll make the sacrifice for a better look. Besides I live in Houston Tx. And Gas is cheap as hell here. I last filled up for $45.00 on the dot. The cheap prices may not last but for right now Its nice.
I too want to get a BB tune going just need to get to a decent mod point before I commit to a first tune. Want an intake, finish exhaust, and have lift and tires on so they can compensate for the change on the speedo and such.

Do you think there would be enough room for 295/60/20?
