OK, that makes more sense now. Those are 13.3" rotors.
Sounds about right! I can just slide my fingers between the calipers and inside of rim of my 18" wheels

If you have a 2wd just use NBS 2wd spindles, might be different size BJs though.
If you have a 2500/3500 just use NBS 2500/3500 spindles and tell us if the CVs fit. =)
yeah so I just went and looked at a yard. This is NOT possible with a 2wd without a complete rework and redesign of the front end. OBS and NBS 2wd are completely different lower, upper control arms. spindles are different heights. control arms are totally totally different. myth busted.
Hi All
I am doing a full front suspension rebuild on my 89 k1500 4X4 and this upgrade along with NBS master cylinder looks like the ticket to improving the crappy stock brake system Chevy put on the OBS trucks.
I have read through this thread and think I have a good idea of the parts needed and the task at hand. But I have a few questions if someone could please give their opinion? If I under stand correctly I can use the CV axles off a 2005 1500 rather than modifying and tampering down that edge of my current CV axle? and I was looking at buying this brake kit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PWR-KC2067-36 or am I better of going with AC Delco calipers and rotors?
Thanks

Hey Petee,
Good luck with the upgrade, I think you'll find it worth the effort! Yes, use the NBS half shafts, they go with the new hubs and knuckles you'll be installing. As for the summit brakes, I haven't used em, but was pretty happy using powerslots rather than the oem rotors before my upgrade. The ac delco parts I got for my truck are great, I wouldn't steer you away from using them at all.
I've read some folks don't like the drilled rotors as they can heat crack, and of course you won't be able to turn the rotors down the road if you want to re-surface them. But the price looks fair and I've had a good experience with summit so if you don't want to try the NBS oems, there you go...
Best,
Cove
