Default Kore HP Leveling kit

I'd like to level my truck. I was considering the inexpensive spacer route, possibly with Bilstein 5100s too. After looking at some threads, looks as if this option could have some issues, rougher ride, shock extension issues, etc. Correct me if I am wrong on that. If I don't go that route, I could go with new springs such as Kore's kit.......does anyone have experience with Kore's HP Leveling kit? About 500 bucks. I've heard good things. Two concerns...I don't want the truck to ride any rougher than stock, so please let me know about that and what if I place a trailer on the hitch, with say with a light 400 lbs tongue weight, will the back be sagging now, since the front was leveled? If so, I could go with air adjustable air bags, I suppose or Kore's 1" rear lift (which is a mini pack of leafs and new 5100 shocks).

Yeah same here. Before my lift, I fabricated coil spring spacers for the front to level it and re-used old shocks. It raised front like 2.5 inches. Looked good and really didnt effect ride quality or handling that I noticed. I would go cheap for leveling kit cause a spacer is a spacer in my opinion, but spend the extra money IF you buy a lift kit.

I have coil spaces as well, and the ride isn't much different. Stock suspension will provide one of the best rides, so I have hear.
