Default 1999 k2500 suburban lift

I'm doin' my damndest to figure out how to fit 37's on my 1999 K2500 Suburban. I haven't been able to find a suspension lift that provides the clearance.
I don't want to add a body lift and as of right now my only feasible option is to put a 6 inch lift on it with an add a leaf and crank the torsion keys and I might get close.
Has anyone seen anything larger than a 6" lift offered for the 99' K2500?
Thanks.

I would be cautious going 6" after 5" you start changing the angle on your drive shaft and you will be changing ujoints left and right, thats if it doesn't break. If you were able to find the 6" lift kit I would not go any higher than that. If you want to go higher you will need to get a kit to replace knuckles and xmember.as well as a body lift.

Thanks for the reply. Been a while since the post. Since the I've decided to just stay with the 33's and be happy. Even trying to get 35's on it would be a bear given my original plan was a $1000 6" RC kit and that's no longer feasible because I have the push button 4X4 which requires more work and $. Anyway, check er' out!

Heck ya! She looks good! I think the 35's would have been nice, but it looks pretty good just like that!
