Does anyone know what the maximum lift height is that I can put on my 2008 suburban before I have to start changing drivelines and all that?

Define "drivelines and all that". Lift kits come with all of the brackets you need to relocate the crossmembers, links, differential... you are just lowering the suspension, not really lifting anything.

Start with why you want to lift it and go from there. If it's for the gram, mudding, crawling, or going through the woops there is a different answer for each one. If you are going to actually use the truck a lower center of gravity is best so the answer would be "just high enough to fit the tires you want". If it's a bro lift with 26s the answer is "as much as you can afford".

I want to be able to take it off road. Preferably I'd like to put 35's under it. But I was told that if I put too much of a lift on it I would have to extend the drivelines and there were other things that would have to be changed out too. Preferably I'd like to be able to just buy a lift kit and put it on there and not have to put any more money into extending drivelines or anything else. I'm not too knowledgeable in this area so that is why I ask if I put a 4-in lift on my 2008 suburban what I need to do anything other than install the lift kit? I believe that would be enough to fit the size tires that I want.

I'm currently running 6" springs on my 2001 tahoe and I'm running 285/70R17 tires which are under 33"

The kit my springs came out of says it can take "up to 35" tires"

Either way, 35" tires with a 4" lift seems way too big of tire.

I just looked on RC's site and they don't list anything like 35" as recommended until 7"of lift for a 2008 suburban.
