you will probably need way more lift then that to clear 37s. i have about 10ish inches of lift and have had my 33s rub a few times under heavy flex. and also dont forget about the front end holding up to that large a tire. i straight axled my 93 s10 with just 33 inch tires due to having a 85 with 33s and got sick of breaking front axles everytime i took it out.

and probably in the long run you would actually save money by doing a straight axle swap. due to the suspension lifts for these trucks arent exactly cheap like the old fullsized trucks were
