What is the purpose of a leveling kit?

It levels out the rake, and gives you 1.5" of lift in the process (2" front, 1" rear).

I run the RC Budget Boost AND wheel it pretty well. It is right up your alley and will work well.

You will want.

*The $30 RC rear track bar bracket
*Some extended rear sway bar end links (~$30, then you move your stock rear end links to the front to level out your sway bars)
*Rear brake line extensions, $5 from lowes, simple/easy to make

Thats my suggestion, I run the same lift for right now, and it doesn't hurt anything else driveline wise...

Is it for 'looks' or does it do something for performance?

Well, it can be for looks. But it also lets you run larger tires (up to 34" according to TeraFlex, but I say 33's if you wheel it), and gives you more ground clearance. I know if I didn't have mine I would not have cleared a few things that I did on Saturday, I would have gotten hung up.
