Will a 2 inch leveling kit hurt my truck?
If you go with the two-inch height for your leveling kit and carry a heavy hitch or load in your bed, then you can create sag in the back that could be problematic as well. If you do any hauling or towing, you’ll want to have some rake in the rear or have airbags that can keep the back up during operations.
Does a 2 inch leveling kit affect towing?
A leveling kit alone will not affect the towing capacity of your vehicle. A leveling kit may allow your vehicle to have more space for the suspension to adjust, which will aid in towing. However, adding larger tires to your vehicle will decrease your vehicle’s towing capacity.
