Right now in my camera kit I have a 7d, 50 1.8, 28-135 3.5-5.6, and 70-200 2.8L IS II. What I am thinking about doing is selling my 7d and the 70-200 to get 5d mark iii, what do you think?

No.
 
If upgrading the body means getting rid of the only 'good' glass you have, I would pass. Buy a new lens instead.

X2. Ditch the 28-135 and get the 24-70. You'd be set with the 24-70, 70-200.
 
I personally would not do it.

What is the 7D lacking that you feel you need, that's holding you back, that the 5DMKIII will provide?

yeah the general consensus is not to just a thought i had in my mind today. the only think i feel im missing out on is full frame. trust me i really dont want to get rid of my 70-200, i love that lens. it has barely come off my camera. i guess my curiosity was how important did people feel full frame was. thanks for the replies

Keep the 7D and use the 70-200 on it to give you that extra reach and buy the 5D for landscape and portraiture work. That's what I would do :)
 
Gave a 5d iii a quick test run the other day and loved it but when you balance cost over gain it doesn't seem to add up. I would say without doubt the 70-200 on your 7d would give better shots than the 5d iii with that 28-135, obviously they are different purpose lenses but you get my point. The 28-135mm was my first lens and it made me disappointed I bought a DSLR but maybe mine wasn't a good one. I later traded it.I have some similar gear to you and considered full frame also. I would in your position consider a 5dc, and a 24-105 f/4 and ditch the 28-135mm. A 24 start on a 5d would allow you fit so much in compared to a 28mm starting point on the 7d. It could be a win win with ff and relative wide angle covered while still having sports camera ability and the reassurance of a back up camera. Just an opinion of course
