In a sense yes and in a sense no. A Lower axle ratio will provide better MPG, but will not do as good on the towing, High will give more towing power but less MPG. I recommend the 2nd lowest axle ratio available (if 1 or 2 only then go with the lowest)!
I believe the axle code is listed on a sticker on the end of the drivers door The axle code will correspond to an axle ratio Once a person knows the axle code , the ratio can be looked up

To check the rear axle ratio on your Suburban, you need to safely jack up the vehicle to get access to the the rear axle. Then there should be a metal tag on one of the bolts on the rear axle cover indicating the axle ratio. The ratio varies with different options and load capacities, so it's not the same for all Suburban's.
