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.
There are alot of good calculators and charts for use on this and they are all pretty much the same with final results. Pirate 4X4 has alot of reference on this subject. Here is a chart that I keep in my garage and has worked extremely well in all the setups that I applied in too.

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.
