Default lowering and Towing?

I have a 07 Tahoe 4wd that I would like to level. I notice you can accomplish this by either lowering the rear or raising the front. My question is how these two options affect the overall towing capacity in the Tahoe? I really would like to level my Tahoe by lowering the back, but at the same time I wouldn’t want to compromise the towing too much since that was one of the reasons I got it in the first place. I have already towed my Integra from GA to CO (1500 mi) and I was really happy with how it handle (much better that my old 01 Grand Cherokee V8)
Anyway, just trying to find some info to help me makea good decision.

07's don't use leaf springs so a shackle wouldn't work
