Leveling kit 99 psd

Hey all,
Searched around a bit on past threads and couldn't find exactly what i'm looking for. Just wondering if i were to put a leveling kit on the front if it would hinder my towing or maybe hinder the appearence while i had a load. i don't want it too look like it's squating way down with a load.
thanks!

depends on how much of a load you've got. If it settles it so it's level when loaded then yes, it will squat.

Get some airbags and you can set the height in the rear.

pbr your truck looks great. I'm wanting to do the same thing without doing a full lift kit. Does the 315's rub at all? Is there a special offset on the American Eagles? Thanks.

No rubbing with the 315's. The wheels are 16x8 with 4.5'' backspace. With the backspace on these wheels they don't stick out past the the wheel wells so there is no need for fender flares.The add a leaf from Tuff Country was a fairly easy install, about 4 hours in my driveway with just hand tools and couple of jacks.
