Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

Sounds like he took it to a shop over by @Tonyrodz

Yeah, they must be affiliated with these a$$holes over here. Damn morons.

While I had my front wheels off today I noticed it needs rotors and pads. I checked online to make sure the NNBS upgrade parts I had left over from my Denali would fit and they will. I'm glad I didn't sell them when I did my Wilwoods. The CC's rotors are grooved and pads are down to nothing. The ones I have are about a year old and the pads are EBC Green Stuff with 75% left. Plus I have the stainless steel hoses. The calipers are a year old too so I'll probably change those too. I'm still deciding on if II want to paint them black instead of the red they are. Too bad I can't use the rear rotors too but the CC has drums back there.

Hmmm....rear disc brake conversion??? It's been done but seems like a lot of work.

Not really. Just swap the axle out. Find one out of a NHT package Silverado with the 12-bolt rear.

On another note.. that lower shock mounting tab looks like it’ll snap off the first bump you hit. No gussets?

I have a narrowed rear end ,don't really want to mess with it since the axles are custom. That mount is solid as hell. The frame they built as well as all the other fabrication is quality.

Yeah and he won't explain himself; I've sent 2 PM's and no answer. Oh well I guess he doesn't have anything to say after all.

Wish I would have screenshot my main page right before I answered you just 5 minutes ago. I rarely pay attention and the ones on this board I do care about getting in touch with have my number.

Hmmm... cutting the axle tube down and putting your inner shafts in shouldn’t be that expensive.

But i believe Baer brakes makes a conversion for it too.

Would be cool to run discs in back with some large calipers.

Just slide your axle shafts out and unbolt the drums backing plate and bolt on the disks backing plate and slide your shafts back in. Atleast that is the way it used to work... I can't imagine they changed anything.

My thoughts as well.
