I would use a 3" spindle since you plan to use 20 inch rims.

Have you though about sectioning your cross member 1.5", and moving it forward a inch to better center your front tire. I did the front end of my cousins friend by sectioning the cross member, and Z'ing the frame 2 more inches. Then we used a C20 spring to firm up the front end along with C30 KYB shocks, and trimmed it to height he wanted. I did a super notch in the rear, and C30 shocks again. Later we added sleeve bags to trim spring rate, and add weight carrying back into the truck.
