    99 Tahoe 2 Door Getting Rear Disc Conversion

    Sorry I have been away for a bit. All I can say is that the peddle is much firmer and the stopping distance is much better than before. I highly recommend doing this if you want to stop better. I also replace all the hose with Russel SS brake lines as well. LS is a great kit. Just take your time...

    99 Tahoe 2 Door Getting Rear Disc Conversion

    Let me know how that goes. I might go this direction later on. Wildwood PV, it might be a better solution. Only worries I have it the ABS, I would have to bypass it and or have is shut off with a Blackbear tune. I would hate to see that light on my dash all the time...

    99 tahoe rear axle problems

    This sound like that your spider gears are worn along with the shims/spacers and or the C-Clips as well. You would have to take the rear cover off to verify the issue. Not a hard job to do at all, just messy. Find a good rear end shop in your area and hit them up for the replacement parts.

    99 Tahoe 2 Door Getting Rear Disc Conversion

    Yes, it firmed it up, but nothing like a Hydroboost would do. I can say after this last week of driving the Tahoe it is a huge improvement over the stock set-up. I have put a few hundred miles on it now and pedal is no where near as it was before. Drove it from Fresno area down to the drags at...

Im lucky that I have a one man bleeding kit as well, it make things so much easier. Just a few notes on this install. Just make sure that...

    99 Tahoe 2 Door Getting Rear Disc Conversion

    Well today I finished up on the install of the rear disc brakes and all of the other things I did to it to make it work properly. So I swapped out the old master cylinder for the new body style that has the larger bore and is made for the rear disc. Don't forget to bench bleed to new MC, this...

    I put the larger Front Calipers on as well. These are from a 2500 series truck from the same gen as ours. I have a comparison picture of the two calipers. As you can see there is a slight difference in size and the pads are about the same size but maybe just a slight bit bigger. They are a bolt...

    99 Tahoe 2 Door Getting Rear Disc Conversion

    Now as for the rear emergency brake cables i had to get ones from a 4 door 2 WD Tahoe. The only reason had to do this was because I have a DJM rear flip kit witch moves the rear end back like 2in. So this means that the stock emergency brake were just about 2in short, especially the driver side...

    99 Tahoe 2 Door Getting Rear Disc Conversion

    Yes LS has a conversion kit for the 4WD 6 lug, it uses the same calipers, just the caliper mounting plate are different where it mounts to the rear axel and the rotor is 1 in thick. Also sorry for the late reply. Super busy with work. Everything is pretty straight forward on the install. The...

    99 Tahoe 2 Door Getting Rear Disc Conversion

    Well Im getting the LS MFG rear disc brake conversion for my 1999 2 door/2WD Tahoe. I opted for the drilled and slotted disc brakes, Calipers with the built in parking brakes and SS brake hoses. It should be here on Monday or Tuesday. I also bought the larger front calipers with pads, which are...
