Default 2" or 2.5" level with add a leaf

Been searching the forums and cant find any good info as to which size to go with along with the add a leaf. I tow up to 6k from time to time and want to sit level towing. Any help is appreciated.

2" will leave a slight rake with no,load.
2.5" will be level with no load.
My 19' hybrid camper with what the paperwork says is 450# tongue weight squats the truck almost 2".

I have wondered if an add a leaf or just using a 3" block would be best. The leaf seems best for towing, but will it sacrifice ride quality all that much?

You don't say whether you're in a 2WD or 4WD, and I can't see signatures in case it's there. Anyway, I have a 4WD with a 2" level up front. With installed accessories and cargo, I'm about 1/4" nose high. I've just ordered a 1.5"-2" Autospring AAL and a 1" block. My plan is to remove the stock 1-3/4" block and install the spring plus the 1" block to get around 1" of rake, plus resistance against squatting under load.

My truck is a 4x4 super crew 6.5ft bed. I am thinking of doing the rough country 2" level with timbrens in the rear for towing as another option. I would think this would get me close to level without any squat when towing?
