Re: Lowered and towing
It can be done. I don't know the specifics but I'm sure it depends on the kit. You could also install helper air bags to level the truck when a trailer is attached. A friend of mine tows with his bagged crew cab dually with no problems whatsoever.

Re: Lowered and towing
If you go with helper bags, you will find that there a lot of brake lines and other items attached to the rear axle that will have to be moved. I started with Air Lift brand bags and finally settled on the McGaughys bag kit for my 2011 GMC. They mount out where the lines are not an issue. I have my truck dropped 5/7
