yes....drop leafsprings always loose the towing ability...cant hold as much and you get more axle wrap. if i was you i would go with either the shackle and hanger kit, or drop blocks..keep your same towing ability. it will also help to put stiffer shocks in the back. bags in the back of a lowered truck are also a good idea if your gonna be towing and carrying some heavier things..hope this helps.
