I'll also be doing an LS swap so I will likely take the calipers of the donor truck.
Great work on your blazer - really like your color choice. Hope you're enjoying it!
Thanks,

Any pictures I have are already posted here. Even though everything bolts onto the existing hubs, there is quite a bit of machining involved. It's basically late model calipers with mid 90's rotors. The difficult part is getting all this to fit inside a 15" rim. If I had to do it all over again, I would use a hat and rotor assembly because I couldn't find a factory rotor that was deep enough to get the caliper away from the rim. I now have about 5000 miles on the truck, and have had zero issues.
