The 4 link is ORD's the front rotors are stock? I just don't know what they are off of to get replacements.

I think you should stick with the 11" rotors or whatever they are now. I think you will be opening a can of worms to try to upgrade to some huge rotors for a 10 bolt front axle. Just wait and run the wheels and tires you have for now. That's what I would do at least. If you need more stopping power, try some stock sized slotted rotors and some EBC yellow stuff pads ($$$) and see how they do.
Rotors on the axle are 13 inch now...
I think we measured wrong. It was a rough start the other day.

I thought stock was 12 or so??
Yea 12.295 inches
Looks like 13 inches from here.

I wonder if the 8 lug rotors are bigger than the 6 lug ones or if they use the same size rotor and just a different hub. 
I figured it out....
We measure wrong and the catalog when it says 13 inch brakes is referring to the rear brakes. I assume the pad difference is the gvw stopping power.

Pads and rotors on my desk got to love commercial accounts.

One of us was holding the stupid end of the measuring stick. No idea who though
That was a interesting morning for the both of us... Let's chalk it up to needed 5 hour shots.
It was probably me holding the stupid end. We were amazed it was magnetized.

The 8-lug front rotors are a touch bigger than the 6-lug rotors. Caliper backing plates won't quite swap. It's just enough different to be really annoying.
If your are using a 10 bolt front. You need 3/4 ton rotor and backing plate, the calipers are the same size. I have a GM parts book if you need the part #
Found rotors and pads. I think because we eye balled the tape measure our sleep state thought it was a half inch longer.
Thanks teck!

Sounds like a "thats what she said" moment........
Great work, hoping to see it rolling on the upper 4 tires soon rather than the lower 4 tires.

What do you mean by upper 4 tires?
Hoping to get some work done today, I have a back seat full of parts and fluids waiting to go on.
