Recommended RAS Spring Enhancement Kit for a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500

Question

Question:

Hi Considering buying the RAS Spring Enhancement kit for my GMC Sierra 1500 4x4. My question - I have an E2 Hitch for weight distribution setup, will I have to re-set the hitch once the springs have been fitted as the spring will now reduce the travel on the rear axle, or will the setup still be correct?
