Default Anyone running sprinigtech 3/5 kit?

I am in the quest to finish my truck and i would like to do a 3/5 drop on this truck, and i was looking at the groundforce 9860 kit which is the flip kit for the rear, looks like this kit is the same just curious if anyone has tried it and had any issues or not. Pretty big difference in price, can there be that much difference in a spindle, spring and flip kit.
The truck is a 2008 gmc sierra denali.
Thanks guys for any help you may have.

THE SPRINGTECH KIT IS THIS ONE:

HERE IS THE GROUNDFORCE KIT:

I KNOW THE GROUNDFORCE KIT HAS SHOCKS, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I AM MISSING.

I was under the impression that springtech was AIM. If it were me, I'd run McGaughy's 2" spindles and their coil relocators which are adjustable, allowing 1-2" of drop. They will ride 100x better than new springs and probably about the same price, if not cheaper.

I ran the ground force kit and it was well built stuff. The only item I ever bought from springtech was some coil spacers when I had my truck lifted, and they werent the best quality.
