Do you happen to know is the discs would fit the JH6 disc option for the 9.5's? Or a source for the discs for that matter

They also told me that they don't have dimensions for their kits available and don't know which variety it fits, because, you guessed it, there is only one size from GM... When I pointed out that I was measuring two calipers from 03, one from a SSS and one from a 1500 crew cab, he hung up. Wilwood is a bit better, but still has no solution if you want 6 lug.
I'd love to hear more about this relocation bracket that lets you use rotors from a 6 lug truck. Lemme tell you -- it ain't gonna happen. The hat is .45" too deep, so the rotor itself is the problem, not the caliper placement.
BTW, I had no trouble getting after market parts for the my 9.5. Brakes, yes, but gears, carriers, axles, even a TA girdle were readily available. Counting a brand new GM housing (which was $1100) I build a detroit locker with custom axles and micronited R&P for < $3k. Pretty comparable to the 12 bolt or ford 9" sets I saw.
