Hey guys,
My stock Dana 30 brakes are really struggling to stop my 35's, and I've been reading some about swapping for GM brakes to help compensate for the larger tires. Has anyone out there done a similar conversion or know someone who has? I am looking for parts needed, and from what year model mostly. I've found a bunch of post on the interwebz about similar conversions using 1/2 ton brakes but they all had to do some machining to get them to work.
I found this on here post#4 where he said it bottled right up this is why I wanted to ask around:

Thanks,
