Pro tip: stopped eyeballing my drawer slides, a $12 jig from the Woodcraft in Portland fixed my sag in 20 minutes
Used to just line up slides by feel and swear at the drawer when it dragged a year later. Bought a cheap slide jig after a kitchen job in Beaverton came back with 3 sagging drawers, and now every box goes in dead level the first try. What jig or spacer setup do you guys use for inset boxes that don't have a face frame to hide behind?

A jig helps with the repeat work, sure, but a $12 one won't save you on inset boxes. Those need a story stick or a spacer block cut to the exact gap between the box side and the opening, checked off the actual cabinet. I clamp a straightedge to the carcass and measure from the same reference edge every time, because inset shows every mistake you make. Feeling it out works fine when you're close, but dead level on the first try is about your reference, not the jig.
