I go camping a lot, and i tow my buddies 32' Jayco. I also have a street car I race and tow it with a 20 flatbed trailer. I tow my garden tractors,rock,dirt, you name it. I have a 3/5.5 drop from Tony with the full Spohn kit and DJM sways. All I invested in when I tow was some Airlift bags and a 4 inch rise Diversitec Billet receiver hitch. I bottom out NO where and love how my truck rides on the 24's

Now you probably wont go that extreme,but if you do, you'll be o.k AS LONG AS YOU GET YOUR AIRLIFT HELPER BAGS...
Hope this helps...

I just installed the air lift bags on my rig this weekend and I wouldn't call it "really easy" but its manageable. If you leave the springs in its gonna be way way harder. I tried and said f that and pulled my springs out and made it a whole lot easier to get the bags in.

1) Pull springs out
2) put the helper bags in hot water for 10 minutes
3) fold the bag closed and put the black cap back on
4) pushes right into the coilspring and you take the cap off and run the airline to it.

Done

Yea sounds pretty simple. Going to get some money put away to do them. May not get the lowering kit through you NorCal only because one of our vendors through the shop I work at can get me the same kit for 450 shipped to Colorado. I will be ordering everything else from you though. Either way I go, thanks for all the help with helpings out figure out what I need and how to go about it. Defiantly going to recommend you to my other friends who have late model GM vehicles
