Will leveling kit give me issues towing??
So I have a 2019 F-350 long bed it has a ready lift 2.5 coil front lift with bilsteins all the way around. We recently bought a 32” travel trailer with a 6700lb dry weight my concern is when I go to pick it up and tow it an I going to run into any issues or anything. Will I need to add air bags in the rear or have the leveling kit removed. Never towed noting this big and I don’t want to run into any problems.

You'll be fine with the F-350. You made a good choice in trucks. My toy hauler travel trailer has a much higher GVWR and tongue weight than yours does. My F-350 has no problem with it. Stock suspension. Just make sure the headlights were adjusted to account for the level.

If there is a level kit (you said a 2.5" block up front already) I will say that from actual practical. experience you are going to have more squat in the back and more unloading off the front than without. Many will tell you that no it doesn't happen, well I can tell you it does, that's what happened to my 350 when I had it, that was with a 4' lift and level kit. It always felt loose to me after that.
All you can do is measure top of the wheel to the fender both front and rear and compare how it sits and also how it drives.
Try it and see what it feels like, and don't be one of the idiots who doesn't think of others as he's driving with his lights square in oncoming traffics eyes, it's getting bad enough especially right now that I try not to drive at night as it's to aggravating.
