    I see on your one other post you say you've got an 04 Suburban, is that the truck you're inquiring about? There are a lot of variables when it comes to lift kits but a few I would recommend for the height you're seeking are the 7" Full Throttle lift, the 9.5" Full Throttle lift, the 6" Fabtech, or the 7" Cognito kit.

    Atleast 4.56 gears I have a 6" with 35/12.50/20s and I am thinking about 4.88s. The truck has the stock 3.73

    I am going to agree with the Cognito kit. It is a 7-9" kit depending on how much you crank the torsions. And with the 37s I would go with 4.88 gears

    My last truck was an 05 ccsb 5.3, auto, 4.10 gears. It had a pro comp 6" lift, 35" tires. The truck had no balls, I swapped to a 4.88 and it was much better. The truck was a 4x4 as well, I took it to a shop and had front and rear changed out cost me just over $3,000 parts and labor.

    Im thinking about the same wheel and tire set up.i have a 2002 Z71 extended cab how bad is the performance with stock gears? Just fixin up for my son when he turns16. How would i determin what gears are currently in it? Sure it will see alot of highway so offroad performance is not that big a deal. Thanks for any info on this.
