@popo8 do Tony(norcalss) 3/6 kit with helper bags. I've had it for 2yrs and it's great. I also tow my 12' trailer, party rental side business filled with tents, tables and chairs. Ride is great and is still daily drivable.
I will be towimg one time a year.... one of my cars, and its 1500miles round trip.

Yes. You will lose the rear OEM bags. and you will pull the RTD fuse(airride). BUT they will be replaced by the 6" coil drop spring and helper bag if you choose that route (I totally would)

I actually have the 3/5-6 kit waiting to go on my 2002 Burb. I also have front/rear sway bars, and Spohn adjustable rear uca/lca and panhard bar.

On my 2001 Yukon XL I had Tony's 3/5 kit with 24s and heavy system in the back and was still able to tow without problems (helper bags would've been nice to have though)

I used drop spindles in the front and rear springs with shock extenders on my '02 Denali. The rear kit came with shorted ride height links for the autoride to keep it functional. It rides great considering I'm running 26's. And I can tow without having to mess with anything. It sits at about 3/4" higher in the back.

That thing looks great! How much of a drop is that?
