Default drum to disc conversion

Does anybody make a conversion kit with bigger rotors for an 06 Silverado Crew Cab that has drums or do I just need to find another diff with the disc brakes already? I'm looking to upgrade the brakes front and rear for the wife and I see lots of options available for the front.

for the wife...I like that. I'll have to remember that.

as far as rear brakes, the rear proportioning is so low that it doesn't really make a difference. If you want discs out back, I think you're gonna have to get a set up off a truck with the rear discs & then upgrade from there. I know, I hate it too, wish I had discs in the rear for looks.

You have no idea B4, I bought her a Mercedes when I came home from Iraq. She's driven it a while, then I bought me the truck to pull the Mustang to the track. She drove the truck about 3 times and walked in one day and threw the Benz keys at me and told me that I could keep the car, she was driving the truck from now on lol. And she has just about, unless I warn her that I've got to haul something the next day lol. I'm fixing to go to Afghanistan and I'm gonna have a 408 built for the truck while I'm gone, but the way she drives, it needs just as much whoa as go!
