BDS diff bracket/traction bars worth it?

Originally I had decided on the 4 inch Rancho for my 2011 Silverado 1500.

Now I am having second thoughts. I keep switching back and forth between BDS and Rancho. I notice that BDS offers a diff bracket to cure vibration problems, and traction bars. Would I really notice not having these items on the Rancho kit?

I really only want about 5 inches of lift. I find the BDS 6 inch kit is too high for 33's, which I have already purchased and only want to stay with that size. So it is down to the BDS 4 inch or Rancho 4 inch.

What would you choose?

BDS

After some more research and phone calls, I decided on BDS.

The BDS kit is actually cheaper. I can get it for $1,800. The Rancho I can get for $1,600, but I need shocks, which are $650. Also, the Rancho does not come with a front skid plate, the BDS does. Overall what made me choose BDS was their reputation and no BS warranty. Also, the cheaper cost overall helped too!
