the reason the 4/7 kit costs less is because for the back, all you get is the flip kit.... the 3/5 kit comes with flip kit, hanger, and shackle.... both kits have spindles and coils for the front...
Diggin up an old thread, but how can ride quality suffer if you're using the stock spring and shackles and hangers?

Good question... The ride should have remained the same in my case, but somehow it got harsher... Too much bottoming out, maybe

Maybe shocks? Or axle centerline in position to springs (over vs. under) changed the geometry?

not trying to chime in so late in this thread, but i just did a 4/6 to my 09 CC 3 weeks ago. the kit came with 2" spindles, 2" struts(with spacers), and 2" springs for the front. and the back was a flip kit. it was all belltech hardware. however, it didnt come with the tranny spacer and schackle relocator brackets (bought second hand), which in turn it gives me a little vibration under hard accel and i had to use the air shocks to raise the back up. it floats a little in the rear as of now from the air shocks, but ride quality was actually the same as stock or possibly a little better which surprised me. the missing parts will be ordered soon, as the air shocks are doing just fine for me now. but, i dont see being able to tow anything until i put on the new schackle brackets.
