gist supports only balanced trees but I have to implement index as suffix tree which is highly unbalanced.How can I do this?

You could write a new index access method ... though I would not exactly
recommend that as a good project for a first-time Postgres hacker.
It might be that you could implement what you want to do as a layer on
top of the GIST index type. See the GIST-related contrib modules for
some examples.
