If ur a 88-91 u can only use 2500 6 rotors from a 88-91

The 1" thick 5 lug rotors on 88-91 are for regular cab C1500's that are not equipped with heavy duty brakes. If they were extended cab they'd come with 1.25". From 92-up all C1500's got the 1.25" rotors regardless of regular/extended cab.
Now on to the 2500 6-lug (7200lb GVWR) trucks; regardless of year, if it's a 2500 6-lug it's got the 1.25" rotors. Those trucks came with HD brakes either way because of the rest of the equipment package to achieve the 7200lb GVWR. Look 'em up... RPO C5Z = 7200lb GVWR which is what a 6-lug 2500 is by design.
SO...if you're converting an 88-91 REGULAR cab C1500 that did not come with HD brakes (and typically they did not), to use 2500 6-lug rotors, you gotta change spindles too.
