Are you saying with the air suspension kit there is no need for a leveling kit?
Also, is it even possible to lift your truck if you have the air suspension option?
A leveling kit is a front lift kit. Most are about 2". The standard stance of a pickup is the rear is higher than front by 1.5"-2". The auto level system, on the 2500 anyway, has what is called the alternate trailer height which levels the truck for trailer towing. But you can run the truck like that all the time.

As far as a lift kit for these; I haven't seen one yet. If you put a set of spacers up front you'd throw the computer off so bad I'm sure the whole time continuum thing would crash and the world as we know it would end. But, me thinks if you put equal spacers front and rear the system would never know. IE,3" front,3" rear spacer and you could still level it by going to the trailer height.
 
ssmithcpd Truck looks great! Can you tell me a little more about the 5.5 zone lift you installed. Did you get a steering stabilizer, t-case indexing kit and/or carrier bearing drop kit? Ive been looking into this lift as well and want to make sure I get everything I need.
 
I had the new tires on for a day before I put on the leveling kit to see what the difference was and Wow!!! It makes a big difference in the look of the truck! There was No rubbing what so ever with the stock wheels and the bigger 295/70/18 tires. I think this size of tire looks perfect with stock wheels as it is a 34" tire is just a bit wider than stock tires so they are right at the edge of the wheel well and do not stick past it to throw up rocks etc...
Tires are 295/70/18 Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx and Rough Country 2.5" Front Leveving Spacers with Shock Extender Brackets.
 
I don't understand why you would want to do this. Then when you put a heavy load in the bed, the damn thing looks like it's squatting to take a piss.

HBS 2" leveling spacer and new Fox 2.0 shocks went on this morning. From the 2 mile drive home, the front end feels so much better!
How did the HBS kit work when you had it on. Any drive ability issues, wobble, etc.. And how heavy is your camper to Cause the front to go up .. FYI, nit sure this helps, but they have set ups I think for trailer hooks ups that help pull the nose down in the front...I'm trailer illiterate but just figured I'd mention it
