Is this the right kit for the front? https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10617128&cc=1502531&pt=13824&jsn=546
Bigger brakes for GMT900 short of a C6 conversion kit?

Just a 1/8" washer between the bracket and the caliper to center it on the new rotors.
yes, same calipers I put on the yukon with the baer erradispeed rotors, price has gone up about $30
I bought them 3 years ago 5/2021 they are working fine
seems like the originals are prone to leaking I went thru 2 set's before I bought these. well 1 was sticking the rest leaked.
if you want just good front rotors these are pretty nice, I put them on the silverado 4 years ago and the wifes suburban last year. they are holding up fine.

Yes!
The rear matching kit for anyone interested is SDCPR106TK.
Here's something they found while during disassembly;
And they said a lifted truck didn't need new control arms to maintain angles! LOL

That's what I'm showing...

The issue with the OEM brakes is that they have no thermal capacity beyond being used as a light duty truck
I’m with @Doubeleive on his recommendation.

Oh this is completely normal. The only important thing is to use the matching nut with variable size threads

Much like @j91z28d1 said about his C6, I am autoX'ing\road coursing my Suburban and she wears the Tx6R Wilwood kit up front. There's never any brake fade. It was about $2400 for the front kit but have to say its well worth it. The truck just STOPS.
My dad's 2022 Silverado has the 4 pistons up front and there is still a night and day difference between stopping capability between the 2.

The stock 19/21+ brakes are an upgrade but not a huge one. You need a pretty flat high offset wheel to fit them but 17” wheels will fit. The rotor is only 0.5” large than the stock rotor.
A big upgrade is the Brembo kit from the K2 trucks with a 16” rotor. It is a huge improvement and the stock pad that comes with it is pretty mild so it doesn’t make much dust or noise.
