Leveling kit and towing

I currently have a 3500 single rear wheel 4x4. I like the way I can put my 12k pound trailer on it and it levels the truck out. I also like the look of a leveling kit. How can I have the leveling kit and still tow my trailer with out shooting my headlights into the air??

Could I use just the air bag helpers or would I have to switch to strictly air bags?

not sure how you can get that heavy of a trailer on your 3500 with out it not sagging alot.i just installed the firestone 5000lbs air bag kit, its pretty cheap and simple to install.really helps out alot. my flat deck trailer is very heavy empty, and my truck would hit the over loader springs and still sag a bit, put a load on the trailer and a little more sag depending where i place the load.
anyway, about 20psi of air in the bags and it level again.
i ordered mine from summit racing, like 270.00
