It's been awhile since I posted. Wheels, brakes, suspension drop

Your TBSS and Yukon have the exact same size rotors just a different bolt patter 6 x 5.5 vs 6 x 5. You can always redrill em if you by chance have an upgraded set if you are looking to swap oem.

Did I read correctly that the rear brakes I have now are better than GMT900 parts? I know it took me forever to get SSBC to believe me when I told them I had dual piston rear calipers. I finally just bought the parts, sent the single pistons parts back and about 5 months later they let me know my CC had been refunded. I'd love Z06 calipers and so on but it's approaching aftermarket BBK prices.

Yes. No reason to change the rear.

Correct. The 2 piston GMT800 SUV rears are the best available OEM option out of gmt800 or gmt900

I really like those rims on the Hoe. 24's?

My ultimate plan is a LS2 shortblock, ported 243 heads and Fast 102, something like a BTR Stage 2 or 3, 1 3/4" headers, 3" collectors, dual 3" into 4" merge to my Duramax exhaust, Yank SS3600, extremely built 4L60E, 4.11 gears, Auburn locker, hardened axle shafts, and 31" tires. Texas Speed and Performance said it would be miserable to drive. But my 416 11.8 CR TBSS with a 240/250 cam, 1 7/8" with dual 3" exhaust and on 28" drag radials isn't bad at all, then again the 4k-4400 stall isn't in yet. I feel like the cam I am putting in the LS2 shouldn't be too bad.

The two tone Yukon XL had U2 something or another 22" with a 305/40/22. The white Yukon had some 24" Dub Skillz or some BS like that. My daughter and I was coming home from Tuscaloosa after watching an Alabama game and at about 11pm or 12am one of the tires in good shape shredded. Of course it was the front passenger so the right rear 24" went to the front and the 16" spare on the right rear. Bet your ass I will be getting a 17" or 18" spare very soon.

Just turbo the 5.3.

When I get SS brake lines do I order GMT800 or GMT900 lines? Because my plan after getting permanent wheels this weekend is GMT900 brakes for the front, inspecting the rear, getting SS lines and flush all the fluid. I did the same on my wife's Honda CRV. Which by the way I hate that *************.

The gmt900 brakes only need 18s to clear.

17" is the spare size

17" rim is the minimum...

I bought 24's. Hated them. Sold them.
