I just recently bought a new rope. It's 3/8" thick with a safe work load limit of 133 lbs so around 10 mm and 60kg. I'm 5'2 106 so it can more than hold my weight. The only thing I need now is a good anchor. For full suspension can padding be used? I don't want to compress my trachea if I can to avoid SI. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think I may need to get a rope with a higher safe load limit

I was going to suggest a higher load limit. You will start convulsing which will put extra strain on the rope.

That rope is fine. It's not the tensile strength that is indicated there. The tensile strength and the safe working load are two different things. The tensile strength of this rope is probably somewhere between 240 and 420 kg (or 4x to 7x the safe working load). The safe working load is the weight that the rope can be safely used with under normal operation.

Of course, you can get a stronger one, but it's not necessary.

For full suspension can padding be used? I don't want to compress my trachea if I can to avoid SI. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I wouldn't use padding. I would be afraid that it shifts out of position, or that I do it incorrectly, in which case it does more harm than good. I don't think padding is necessary. If you don't want to compress your trachea, place the rope above the Adam's apple, below the jawline. The trachea goes from the voice box (larynx) down to the lungs.

My trachea is still being compressed when I do it...it's not painful but it's very uncomfortable and makes me gag a bit. Granted I haven't tried with my entire weight. My new rope is 1/2" in diameter (12mm) and my neck itself is a bit small.

I think that something that doesn't get talked about enough is how one can alleviate the pressure on the trachea simply by grabbing the rope and slightly pushing up with the arms. This way one should lose consciousness without feeling to much pain on the throat. Of course I never practiced full suspension because that's not something you can practice, but I will try to emulate this video posted by Evelyn (NSFW):

i am also choosing to go with full suspension. i'd like to know everything that is being used, so i may do the same!!!
i hope all is well.
