leveling question

I have a 2004 v10 4x2 sd, i was thinking of putting the coil spring spacers up front to level the truck out (i cant stand the front end diving down) but as it sits now when i put a trailer on the back its levels itself out, so if i level it it is gonna look like a squating dog in the back and i want it to be level at all times, is there any solution other than airbags? thanks in advance

The only two options I can see. Install the spacers up front...and air bags in the rear.

When empty...you will have the level look you are after. When loaded, pump up the air bags...and keep that level look.

From your description, if you only install the front spacers, then you will have a squatting issue.

Buy another truck for the trailer. Just leave it hooked up & loaded ALL the time.

There is no solution. You want two, mutually exclusive, things. You can only have one at a time, not both.
