Here are some pics of my rig
This is the first pic after I finished the install..notice it sags in the back..I need to add more block in the rear to level out.. My thoughts of why it sags it because this kit is for the truck which doesnt have as much weight in the rear of the SUV. Add 2" additonal of block at the time of install and you will be fine
I added more block. I added more than I needed to level because I will be adding an Add a leaf to the front soon. This will sllow me to clear 40's

ok, i have picked out new wheels. I hope these will work. XD series rockstars 20x10 with 4.56" backspacing and -24mm offset. Now I cant decide if I want the 37x12.50r20 nitto trail grappler mts or the 38x13.50r20 toyo open country. Does anyone know if the 38s will fit my truck with an 8" lift?

I had 37x13.50R20 with -50mm offset and had move the bumper forward.
You have less offset and the 38" tire you are talking about is only slightly taller. You might actually clear 38" tires without moving the bumper, but if you are turning and hit a bump it might rub the bumper a little.
The blocker beam absolutely must go, no way in hell a 38" tire is gonna clear that blocker beam.
I think your wheel choice is much better, I am glad you didn't get the other wheels with the crazy backspace, I don't think you would have been happy.
I know you were talking about not wanting to move the bumper... would you like me to snap some pictures of mine? You can hardly even tell it is moved forward, it doesn't look bad or weird, I've seen lots of people doing it on the forum here. I'd love to have a badass aftermarket bumper with more clearance but there are other places that my money needs to go right now... so, waiting.

The blocker beam is like the extra bumper under the bumper. Look at the front of where the leaf springs mount, there is a bracket that comes down from there to the blocker beam. Take out two or three vertical bolts on each side and the blocker beam will drop. Very easy.
