I wouldn't bother lowering the air pressure on a 20 inch tire. The sidewalls are so stiff that it won't make a difference.

The best thing you can do is put your stock tires back on and add lower control arms.

LCA's, a good set of DR's, and at least a 1/2 tank of gas. The extra weight will help you get traction, don't worry about trap speed. Don't bother letting air out of the 20's.
