so the size you have now is right around 29 inches tall. So the 275/40/20's would be just a little bit shorter than what you have now at roughly 28.66. Sounds like it would work perfect!!
I just bought new shoes for the L rims and went with the Hancook 295/45/18 Ventus RH06 dirrectional tread. So far so good. Thinking of selling my 20's but not sure.

They dont look that bad. But i've bee doing a bit of research. I'm gonna grab a set of belltech drop spindles, and probably some 3" drop leafs aswell. I havent read anything negative about the leafs, unless i've been looking in the wrong places. And since my shackles look to be able to raise the back up another inch, that will help me get the rear how i want it. I'll be purchasing the U2 55b wheels (pc below) in 20's. They are +13 offset and with the 275 40's they should fit well. Also thinking of adding cab length westin sport tubes.
