Level Kit ?
ok im getting ready to level my pickup. the tires(33x12.5x17) and wheels showed up today. i use the truck to haul my YFZ four wheeler and occasionally a 12ft utility trailer loaded with quads. which Auto Spring kit should i go with to keep the truck level when hauling? would it be worth it to do a 1inch Add-A-Leaf as well?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you do a lot of towing, so I'd look into getting a 2" autospring leveling kit, and their 1.5" add a leaf.
I know this is more money, but you might want to change the shocks while your at it. The stock shocks are shot by 30k miles, and some good bilsteens or adjustable ranch RX9000s would be great for towing. Also, when your installing the front leveling kit, it would only take a couple minutes extra to install new shocks while your there, and the backs easy.
Just to add..... If you decide you'd want new shocks, then you could kill two birds w/ one stone, and get a coil over shock that has a built in 2" lift(I believe bilsteen has one like that), or you could get a 3" skyjacker kit, but then too, it might make the back end look real squated when towing.
Sorry I made something easy, complicated.

I have the Bilstien leveling kit in my truck and it does squat when I tow my Buick Grand National...so I am trying to figureout wether to get an add a leaf or airbags. Reguardless the Bilstien kit is real nice and you do kill 2 birds with 1 stone. you get new shocks for all 4 corners with the Bilstien kit. Downside is the cost. As far as the MBRP exhaust I had one on my 04 SD and it sounded great and held up well. Hope this helps and any sugestions on my truck would be appriciated too...
