I dont plan on packing it heavy at all. I have the 18" tires i am actually looking to replace them with the new setup anyway. Would 20" be the way to go?
No do not go to 20" tires you will be hurting ( not helping) the final drive ratio.
Not necessarily the case.. Depends on the size of tire you get with either size wheel.
My OEM spare tire is an 18" wheel (LT275/65/18) My OEM 20" wheels came with P275/55/20 tires. They work out to be the same overall height, so there would be no final drive ratio change.

I got new tires recently in size XL275/55/20. The XL is for Extra Load and are a bit more stiffer than the P rated tires, so even better than the originals..
