What's Up Group Just A Question. I Have A 03 Denali And I Need Brakes Like YESTERDAY However I Didn't Want To Purchase And Be Upset Afterwards Because I Didn't Read Correctly. I Feel As If I Might As Well Upgrade To The Next Body Style Of A Brake Kit. Even Though GM Is Pretty Much All The Same, I Should Be Buying The Yukon Denali Calipers And Rotors Correct? Or Will The Tahoe Ones Fit Too?

Secondly Anyone With GMC YUKON DENALI Specific Experience Please Let Me Know ASAP. Do I Need Brackets Too Or Will The Upgraded Parts Bolt On Directly WITHOUT Fabrication?

Red, I went from a 2004 Tahoe (NBS) stock brake to a 2008 Tahoe (NNBS) stock brake. Calipers were direct bolt on, no additional brackets needed. Obviously new rotors also. Worth the upgrade especially if you need new brakes like I did. I have to think your Denali would be the same. Everything I've read says the brake are interchangible between the Tahoe/Denali.

I'm swapping out my fronts for '07+ fronts hopefully this weekend, calipers will come with the correct brackets, need the new bigger rotors and pads and you should be good!

Ok Group Just To Update You On My Progress. I Got Calipers, Rotors And Pads From A 07 GMC YUKON And Everything Matched Perfectly. I Now Have An Extra Inch Of Coverage Bc The Rotors Are 1 Inch Larger Than The Stock Ones That Came On My Vehicle. Break Pedal Feels A Lot Better

Haha any 00-06 2500 truck, search junk yard for cheap price on hydro boost. Posted links on this forum for swap over. The new booster uses power steering hydraulic pressure for brake line instead of vacuum boost off engine. Gives so much damn pedal pressure! Some z71/Denali/escalade had them but have to pop hood to see them.
