Floating Rotor Swap on 90 RCSB LD Brakes

ok so my fellow Gmt400 Gurus. i have been proposing an idea of using the spindle/bearing/brake set up off a 4 wheel drive of our body style. a fellow GMT400 fan of mine has multiple C and K series 2500 Suburbans, after much lifting and removing of tires on multiple trucks of his and doing measurements, on his stock 2 at least, and they seem very very similar. i was already sold on using the upper arms off his because they use a tubular like factory arm.

now lets see where this gets me.

my truck is a 90 Reg Cab Short Bed
Light Duty brakes
8.5 rear with yukon axles and yukon mini spool

So no one has ever tried using 4 wheel drive spindles off like the 92+ trucks with the floating rotor style? I've almost got all my Moog front end replacement parts to rebuild the steering piled up. And I don't see sinking the 203 on the SSBC slotted kit from Summit when I'm going to get, what I'd believe, the same results due to rotor size and thickness of the stock light duty brakes. But I have looked into your thread.the dealership I work for lifts all of their 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive trucks and I have a stockpile of the original spindles so that part wouldn't be bad but I don't know if I'm ready to get into all of the things that you are considering this is my only means of transportation back and forth to work.
