Definitive 80mm 2500 caliper vs GMT800 front brake thread for 16" wheels

[Z71SE]

Like the title says, I want to upgrade the brakes on my project 2000 Tahoe Z71 (OBS obviously). I'm hesitant to do the GMT800 master cylinder by itself, it seems kinda strange to me to just upgrade the m/c without doing something about the front calipers or rear wheel cylinders. What is the most up to date consensus on brakes upgrades that fit under 16" wheels and that don't cost an arm and a leg (ie SSBC).

The master cylinder swap is well worth it in my opinion.

As far as brake upgrades, I plan to do this at some point

That's what I have planned as well, but how does all that jive with the bias and ABS?

Guys are recommending using a GMT800 master out of a pickup that originally had rear discs.

I'm wondering if the OBS ABS system will work properly and whether the fronts will still lockup/ go into ABS before the rears?

Ok thanks, just wanted to ask one more time. I'm getting a set of knuckles and brakes from an 02 Escalade so I'm trying to make sure everything works out!
