I didn't see any kits but you would be amazed at what premium pads, braided brake lines, and proper bleeding can do.

Squishy brakes won't go away!

Hey folks, I'm at a loss here with my brakes... Buckle up for my life story... I've been dealing wish squishy brakes for about 2 years on my 98' C1500 Sierra, Just recently bought a livestock trailer, so I figured I should get on figuring out why my brakes were squishy since I'll have...

Thanks Frank ,But did all that plus changed master to nbs did Baer gt front brakes and rear disc conversation. They are good but want a better brake system. I have the parts to do the nbs rear disc. I will do that first. Then if not better I will remove abs (ancient system anyway) Then I will look int upgrading front calipiers to 4 or 6 piston. I was also considering changing to hydro but would rather not. Had a friend lose hydro in his hummer and got no warning.

Have their big brake on my tahoe. But running 20" wheels to clear the larger brakes. Using hydroboost and working abs. Overall stops well.

14" brakes should fit 18" wheels

What are you looking to get? It is 5000 lbs plus vehicle not a light sedan or sports car. There is a point of diminishing returns. You can have the braking power but the inertia of the big box may want to keep going = loss of traction slip skid. What rear disc version do currently use? Is your braking balanced front and rear?

Rear brak disc conversation is lsm (small)
