On my '91 3/4t Suburban with 4" lift I didn't have to do anything to the driveshafts. I have never had to do any driveshaft work on anything with a 4" lift. You just need to find the center of the movement cycle of your rear driveshaft and have it made longer.
I wouldnt buy the transfer case lowering kit. Their should be spacers on the inside of the frame, taken the bolts outta the crossmember take the spacers an put them between the crossmember an the frame.
