Get a procomp, fabtech, skyjacker 6" kit.. put a 2" level or adjustable coilovers and a bigger block in the back or get the 6" and install a body lift. I had the 2" level + block and hated it. I am now with the body lift and love it. There is no other way to use 37's PROPERLY.

I never understood why someone would buy a 6" lift and throw spacers on it. What a great way to ruin the ride. My 2" leveling bilsteins ride nice, but I definitely want a suspension lift to bring the truck back near stock specs up front and re-gain the down travel in the suspension.
If you are set on 37s, go with an 8" lift, or 6" with body lift. Or go with a 6" lift and fiberglass fenders. The fabtech kits seem to widen the front end a fair amount so I think a 6" lift with fenders and 37s would actually look pretty good.
But you say you don't want to go broke... Have you also thought about re-gearing? The truck is going to be a slug with 37s and stock gearing.

the stage II procomp has the adjustable coil overs,would that be enough to run 37s?how would it handle vs a 6" lift with spacers n the bilsteins?37s are as big as i want to go on this truck.thanks for all the help
