Is it worth the price difference?

Below is the email exchange between myself and the Arnott representative. I reached out to them because the rear springs and shocks look different in the photos. I knew the shocks were different but my concern was the difference in the springs. The value kit from RockAuto is $372.99 and the regular kit is $662.79. If the sole difference between the 2 packages is the shocks, is the higher priced kit worth the additional $290?

ME: I'm considering either C-3184 or C-2835 for my 2008 GMC Yukon Denali short wheel base. What are the part lists for each of those and what specifically is the difference in the springs?

ARNOTT: Hi Danny, thank you for your recent interest GMC Non XL conversion kits. In reference to your question, with our part number C-2835, the shocks have standard valving and will be ideal for a customer who wants to keep the cost down. The other kit part number C-3184 is valved with firmer dampening for a sportier ride. Both kits will include all 4 shocks, our EBM – Electronic Bypass Module, and a set of rear heavy-duty coil springs. Please note that you’ll have to transfer your existing front coil springs to the new front shocks with both kits.

ME: So the rear springs are the same in each kit?

ARNOTT: Yes sir, the rear coil springs are the same. Just the shock absorber valving with each kit is the biggest difference.

twin tube vs "edelbrock" monotube shocks is what I see. They used to use bilsteins in their premium ones.

Buy once cry once imho. Or if you want to cheap out just delete air ride completely
