I thought SSBC made a Big Rotor kit (14" I think) that came with brackets to use the stock calipers, but SSBC's site isn't coming up for me right now. I know it wouldn't be as nice as having a full big brake kit, but I'm pretty sure this was a fairly cheap "kit".

Yeah they as well as Baer also. It just sounds like he wanted to replace the factory stuff with out going bigger. SSBC is around $420 and the Baer stuff is like $700. That is just rotors. I would go this route but I have 17s

Have to run 18" or bigger

SS brake lines can help out a little or at least keep it more consistent. $124 isnt bad for a little peace of mind

I think he may have been banned on here but PM IMD(His name may be JYD now) on here or gmfullsize. He sells brackets to run the covette calipers and 14" brakes

gm put the drums in back for pedal feel.... the 03 and 04 trucks with rear disks feel like you are stepping on a sponge....

This doesn't look like too bad of a deal, I'll probably be ordering these pretty soon.

supersub on SSS.com makes a bracket with a 15" rotor too. BUT, they only work on 99-07 Classics, not the NNBS.
