That's my plan too is to get 07+ brakes. Mine aren't that bad, just need to be turned. Pads are decent.
But the upgrade is so easy it's hard to pass up.

So I've gotta do brakes on my 2006 pretty quick. Thinking about doing the 07+brake upgrade. What are the benefits of doing it? I don't know much about it but have heard alot of guys on here say they've done it.
Benefits: better braking with straight bolt ons
I'll let you know the extent of improvement once they're on

The new rotors, calipers, and pads made a difference. I can tell the truck stops more quickly, however I want a little more bite on the initial stopping power. I'll be adding the stainless flex lines next to see the additional improvement they add. I'll report again once stainless lines are installed and of course, I'll continue to monitor performance under varying conditions.

And on a separate note, I'm going back to the stock spindles in front. It's just too rough and looks lower now than it did before. Hopefully turning the torsion bar bolts down can keep it level.

PS: getting the bolt holes to line up on the power seat controls was a little bit of a pain.

In order to get around after the hurricane, I had to put the seats back in the truck. I added the picture of the passenger seat installed in the previous post. The driver side foam cushion still hasn't arrived, but I had to put the seat back in with the old cover barely attached. It's only held down by 3 of the bolts and no electrical connections. And, I also installed a shorty antenna.

What happened to your Denali headlight on the passenger side?
Other than looking hazed over, nothing happened. I've got a set of black housing depo projectors sitting in the garage ready to be installed. After viewing your build thread, I think they're the same ones you have.
