Rear suspension upgrades for towing

[GRN69CHV]

Appears to be 1" lower block to net 2" lift at wheel. Personal preference is 1/2" block for 1" lift. I'd remove the block you have and either drop to 1" lift or completely back to stock. Then realign.

Just toss in a 3" rear block and be done with it.. it'll cost you way less. For towing I've used air bag setups in the past that work great kept a smooth non bouncy ride going down he road.

Looks like 2" level block to me. I'd add a bigger block in the back and see how it sits with the hitch weight. Add air bags if needed down the road.

I appreciate everyone's replies. I like the added height to the front and from what I've read, a 2" level kit shouldn't cause any premature wear on the suspension. I drove 250 miles today (average 85+) and still averaged over 20 mpg with grade braking off. I figure if I set the cruise on 75-76, I can get close to the factory advertised 23. With that being said, I'm leaning towards leaving front as is, replacing stock 1.25" block with a 3" block, and swapping out the rear shocks with bilstein 5100's. This should net me a 1.5" rake which I'm thinking will be plenty to keep me mostly level while towing. At some point I may swap out the front shocks with the adjustable 5100's and remove the front spacer.
