Is there a thread on leveling kits? When they make sense to install and when they don't? Performance comparisons? Brands?

Leveling kit

I think all you need for a leveling kit is some coil spring spacers, something simple like this:

Of course you have to ask yourself, why does it really need leveling? A nice spring / shock setup shouldn't be sagging, that's usually a determining factor of very old an worn out suspension components, or just a crappy spring / shock combo.
The right way to do it would be to get a nice pair of shocks and springs. However, if you want to go with a leveling kit, they're all pretty much the same. Just polyurethane spacers you're shoving in there. I don't think I'd worry about the brand or performance comparison, they're literally all the same thing... just a chunk of polyurethane.

OP
I guess I was thinking more from an esthetics aspect. Seems like a quick and cheap way to get a slight lift without going whole hog with a suspension lift.

The spacers are all the same kind of polyurethane. Measure and see how much it would take to level your Jeep and buy the appropriate thickness.
From a pure aesthetic point of view, this is indeed a great way to get a little lift without spending big money!
