Any need for the 1" spacer?

[ayeplussjr]

I have a lowered tahoe now that I plan on leveling in the next couple of weeks. I plan on going with the readylift leveling kit that does not come with a rear 1in. spacer. Should I purchase the spacer separately? I don't want to raise it too high that's why I'm going the leveling route, but I'm not sure if that 1in. spacer for the rear will make much of a difference looks wise.

Do you ever tow or haul heavy cargo loads? I've been told that a Tahoe with a leveling kit and no rear spacer will sag quite a bit in the rear when towing. Obviously, that's bad news and safety/drivability issue...

no towing or heavy cargo loads on my part, so it sounds like I may not need the spacers then, right?

I'm also thinking of buying some new wheels and tires to go along with my leveling. Do you know if it's better to go with hubcentric or lugcentric wheels for the leveling. Is there any rubbing with any of these options with the lift?

Always hubcentric for these trucks. It doesn't matter lift, lower or stock.
