leveling kit affected by payload?

I have an 08 350 xl longbed. I would like to put the leveling kit on the front to give it a little more height. My question is if I routinely carry about 2500-2750 pounds in the bed will that make the front end higher than the back? It has leaf springs if that helps. Thanks

If you always carry that much weight you may want to add a leaf in the back. Then the truck would sit ok with the level kit. I would think otherwise it will sit way lower in the back with the level kit.

I would go with Air Lift air bags , Doing a add aleaf = Stiff firm ride... Air bags are inexspensive and easy to install. you can run them empty when you dont need them.

leveling kit in the front and airbags in the back is the way to go.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I am going to go with a leveling kit and airbags. Do you guys have a recommendation for a 2wd leveling kit? Thanks
