Installed air bags, leveling kit needed??

Hello
I installed Air-Lift air bags on my 07 for towing. I love them and should of done it years ago. Air-Lift states to add air to make the truck ride at the same height as it was empty when loaded, only problem is my truck still has that raked look with 5th wheel hitched up. Should I install a leveling kit? I see they make leveling kits that go on the front shock towers to bring the front up. Is this the normal way? Will the spacers change any of the suspension travel or wheel alignment?

Im open to sugestions but I'm not into reworking the front or rear suspensions or spending large sums of cash. Just would like my truck to be level front to rear while towing with the air bags.

Thanks,
Earl
