    I've heard of them reducing you're towing capacity. Is this true??? If so by how much??? I'm wondering on each.

    Yeah I've heard a large handful of people say this and I have asked them how much and why and they disappear from the thread LOL and I've got a hitch so I'm not worried about towing with my bumper

    Body lifts,nor do leveling kits have no effect on your towing whatsoever.Like Big said just keep your back bumper in it's stock location.Hide the gap.Yes this is also from personal experience on the towing with a leveling kit,as well as wth a body kid.
