I hope they clear 17s !
I wouldn't hold my breath on the parts counter
Just do the swap and let me know
Yeah I don't put much stock in part counter "Guru's"
You can do a much cheaper upgrade. Not quite as good as the vette brakes but much better than what you have now, and using all stock parts. For the front, you can upgrade to the 05-06 truck brakes with the larger rotors. For the rear, get stock dual piston disk brakes from a 00-06 Suburban. For both, you just need to swap the rotors, calipers and pads, and the caliper brackets. You will need to gave at least 17in wheels to fit over the larger front brakes.
So the rear disc brakes on mine are single piston and the Burb's are double?

Cool. Good info ScottyBoy.
And when getting the parts I just get everything for the front as if it was an 05-06 Silvy and everything for the rear as if it was an 00-06 Burb.(obviously both 1/2 ton?) So the rear rotors for the Burb are different then mine I take it?
Also does it make a difference on the model or option package on either?
You know I ask because they need to know at the parts store if I have AC and a 5.3 (with the "T" code) to know if a valve stem will fit my truck.
Wouldn't it be easier to just upgrade to a set of performance pads and rotors? Just asking. Seems like a lot of guess work when it comes to something important like brakes. I know EBC is expensive but the R&D is already done.

Stock brakes sometimes aren't good enough for bigger tires and such.
Though, I'd look at SS brake lines, too.
As far as I know, swapping in the dual piston brakes in is literally just bolt on... You do need the different rotors, however, the ones on the 'burb are thicker.

Yeah, but from reading the link on those that swapped they now have rear wheel lockup on hard braking, that isn't good. I know it can be solved with a proportioning valve but that is just another added cost.
