Anyone else wish that we had more options for an all terrain tire with Raised White Letters? I love that look! Very very few available.

That's a good looking tire. I think raised white lettered tires might be somewhat of a generational thing. "Back in the day" that's all we rolled on. Certainly not for all vehicles, but muscle cars and trucks look good with them. Hopefully these or something like it are still around when I need new tires. Should accent a white truck pretty well. 
Not really my thing I’m glad those options are out there for the ones that want them kinda like chrome a little chrome goes a long way with me but everybody is different. As far as those BFG ko2 I’ve ran those on a 2007 Sierra 1500 Z71 I used to have for a while, they had a good and quite ride I thought and decent in mud but I had a lot of trouble with them hydroplaning the steering wheel would jerk bad so I ended up taking them off my truck. But those are tires that be around a long time.

There's still a few that do RWL or white outlines - BFG has the KO2 all terrian, but the newer KM3 mud terrain don't have them (the older KM2 did). General Grabber ATX also have RWL. Goodyear does outlined white letters on the duratrac and MT/R, and Cooper has OWL on the S/T Maxx.
An interesting twist, the general grabber x3 has outlined white letters with a red interior.

The only problem with those, and I hope that you can correct me if I’m wrong, is: that the RWL on those particular tires aren’t available in the sizes I’m looking at. One size in particular (unless I go with the Bilstein height adj shocks) is the 285/65 20’s. Have you seen those in RWL? I’m thinking the RWL would look really good on my black truck. Maybe???

I don't think there would be room for RWL on your rig, at least not with the 20s. Perfect reason to ditch 'em for 17s!

I'm with @Regular Cab Duallies on this one - for RWL or OWL - you need to have enough sidewall to make the letters look proportional. With the thinner tires of the 20" - the letters would be too much percentage of the sidewall height. BUT - to each their own. If you wanted, you could use a paint marker to try it?
As for if any of those brands mentioned above offer them - I kind of forgot about the 20" wheels. I looked it up and some of those listed don't offer RWL or OWL on the 20" tire size.

Yep, very few offer. I think I’m going to go with the Bilstein Height Adj Shocks and then go to my buddy at Discount Tire and see what the biggest 20” I can put on is.
What you installed these yet? Was wondering what the road noise is compared to the Wranglers DuraTrac?
