Coil overs are an inbetween rather than changing leaves. My Suburban has them in the rear, and frankly I do not even notice them. Sure has a stiff ride, which I like.
Coil overs give boost for sagging springs, or heavier than usual loads. I think they are worth the money, they pop right on, and you do not change them untill the shocks need changing. In the rear, that takes some real time.
I think the "coilovers" BTD was asking about are along these lines...

These are not "load levelers"... They are a fully adjustable (either single or double) coilover shock which replaces either the stock coil spring or leaf spring to support the back of the vehicle.
A number of companies manufacture coilovers and not all of them are adjustable and spring rates play a large part in getting them right.
