Heavy duty trucks sit higher in the bed so that they sit level when hauling a load or towing. If you plan on using this as your tow rig, I would seriously consider returning it to stock. If you're towing a heavy trailer with a lot of tongue weight, you're going to swat the rear and possible have undesirable handling issues especially on our frost heaved road.
I know the F-250 and F-350 trucks have the same rear spring rate, but the F-350 trucks have an 1-1/2" spacer to compensate for heavy loads. I'm not sure if Dodges are set up the same, but if you're just looking to level the truck maybe remove the rear spring spacer instead. If you're looking to level the truck and accommodate larger tires then you are using the leveling kit more as a lift kit.
Could the pinion problems be from taking it in the mud/water rather than pinion angle?
