You have options. You can put blocks in the back....you can put airbags in the back....
Honestly....I would suggest searching this forum a little harder. Not because I'm trying to be the "search police", but I really feel you'll get a lot more info if you can dig up a bunch of threads on the subject.
You can see how just one post from someone that's against leveling kits has thrown you off. Get more info. Decide what you want and we can help you get there.

I tow so that's why I'm leaning towards the add-a-leaf option. I will more than likely go with that kit. Did you get the auto spring kit off eBay?

I am concerned with it sagging as I stated I haul my 26ft boat and my 20ft enclosed trailer that I pull my quads with. Thats the reason I'm leaning towards the add-a-leaf option.

Personally I love my airbags. I put 40lbs in them when I tow my boat and the truck stays level. I've gone up to 95lbs when I pick up a ton of wood pellets. When my truck's empty I leave about 20lbs in them.
I'm not trying to sell you airbags though. They're not for everyone.
Here's a link to an AAL install. If you scroll down there's pics of how it looks after the install. If i remember correctly he also has a 2" level installed.
