Leveling kit

I was just wondering, if the 2 inch leveling kit I put on the front of my F350 DRW has any adverse effects on my towing or set up, especially if I decide to get a weight distribution hitch.

I put a 2" torsion lift key on my silverado and all is well.

Now I put the 2" lift in so my truck "looked" level NOT towing so when my 5er is hooked up the truck looks slightly nose high.
I'll be putting my air bags on this winter to level truck when towing.

I only tow trailer about 2% of the time so I wanted the level look the other 98%.

With a 350 DRW I doubt your Tw is enough to drop the rear much. What's the TW of the TT? Bags would bring it back to level if the WD won't. Problem is if you're using a WD with built in sway control then you'll be relieving the sway control properties if you hook up the WD and then inflate the bags to level.

Actually without even airing up the bags my truck sits level hooked up and I don't have a WDH.

I run the 2 inch level kit in the front of my 350 and have no issues with my 8k tag or 16k 5er. and I tow probably 5+ days a week.
