also, would a lot of load (weight) capacity be lost?

The cool factor would definitely be raised up a notch! As far as performance gains... there would be some, but to achieve the greatest gain, the truck would need to be lowered significantly. If you intended to leave the truck at a stock height, or slightly lower than stock, you would notice little gain in performance The load capacity would be diminished, but using a coil-over instead of the monoleaf would help.
