1993 to 2003 brake conversion

[TimeLimitHit]

the only difference is the caliper. brake rotors, pads, and calipers are the same for a 2003 yukon and a 2005 silverado 1500. there is a different caliper option for the silv if its 9900lb gvwr. And in any case i still have my stock 16in wheels and have no desire to put bigger ones on. I like that i can get a brand new set of 31" bfg all terrains for $275 for my puny 16in wheels

I understand if you don't want to go up to a 17" or bigger wheel, but you are wrong about only the caliper being different. The rotor and pads are different as well. The rotor is larger diameter and the pads are larger to fit.

i looked up the rotors, they are the same. Obviously the parts for the 10klb truck are going to be different, but i have a 2 door yukon, 4600lb. The stock brake parts on a silverado ARE the same on a yukon, if you really want ill post the part numbers to prove it. The difference in braking area is around a whopping 9.7 square inches. For those of you who need a visual aid, that's a little more than the area of a business card. Now divide that by two for both sides of the rotor. Not a significant enough difference for me to justify bigger wheels.

besides im looking to use drilled and slotted rotors, which i cant get in the 12.99in flavor for a good price.

to hell with it, im gonna scrounge up the parts and see what happens

Hmmm.....I just realized you were talking about a 4WD. But if it works, its a good bet that it will work on a 2WD also-then Ill be REALLY interested!

TLH, did you ever do this?
