Question:
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic and the Draw-Tite mount would be the #65062. I am looking to also purchase the K2AVAL8422ELT plow. I am asking if this setup will work on my truck or if I would need to get a front leveling kit to raise the truck up for the plow to mount to 2inch Draw-Tite mount.

The Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches # K2AVAL8422ELT doesn't require a leveling kit or list any specific heights that the front-mounted hitch needs to be at so you should be fine without one. That being said you are adding a considerable amount of tongue weight to the hitch so you could run into very little clearance between the ground and snow plow components.
This plow has a shipping weight of 334lbs so you can expect it to be close to 330lbs once all the packaging is removed from the equation You could test weighing down your hitch with a cargo carrier to see how far you drop to get a better idea of how the plow will sit.
If you have 4WD I recommend getting the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension # CSS-1168F to help support your suspension and reduce the sag you'll have from the plow.
