Default 2002 suburban lift kit

I have a 2002 suburban LT that I want to put a 4in suspension lift on. I have been recommended to go with rough country for cost and quality, however while looking I can only find a 6in for the suburban. There was a 4in for the silverado of the same year. Are the 2 vehicles similar enough that that would work, I was of the understanding they were basically the exact same thing with a different body. If that wouldn't work are there any opinions of other options for a 4 in lift.
Thanks

I plan on lifting my Tahoe soon and have also run into the same problem. I'll probably end up getting the 3in lift and then leveling the back end, that's something you can try.

To my knowledge the standard cab, long bed Silverado and Suburban have the same 130in wheelbase, while the short bed and Tahoe have the same 117in wheelbase. Though I've never heard of anyone using a lift rated for a Silverado on a Suburban or Tahoe, which makes me think it may not work. Don't take my word for it though, I'm not positive on that.

Did you every figure this out? I believe the Silverado has leaf suspension, while the Suburban has coils. I have an 04 and am running into the same problem. Did you end up lifting it 4"? What did you use?
