Say goodbye to your warranty! Also on a serious note I would not put a leveling kit on a truck with a plow. Most companies that sell kit's tell you not to put a plow on them. It will compress that front spring even more and I can only imagine what that would do under load (like plowing)
PS. My truck goes out in the woods and doesn't have a problem getting dirty. Unlike a plow though I can wash mine and the problem goes away.

Exactly!!!!! Agreed 100%

I posted this before. But, here it is again.

I have a 2010 Laramie Crew cap (I guess that's what the 4 BIG door deal is called) with a full sized Western plow on it. I've plowed with many trucks. Some as small as Toyota 4 bangers in the early 80s .. smaller plow, of course.

Chevy, Ford and Dakota half tons with no problems either with 7' - 7'6" plows. No problem.

The new Dodge does sit low, tho. I had to add a 2" ReadyLift leveling kit to the front only to make it work. Works very well. Plow does not scrape and the plow (Ready Mount?) comes off and on without a paving block or jack.

ReadyLift 2" leveling kit is what you need, bro.
