Does anyone know the part number or where/how i can find the rear brake line on the ds that goes from that little brass "splitter that's mounted above the rearend(pumpkin) housing. Line goes from there into the rubber brake line that goes into the caliper. I have copper replacement line with the fittings to make my own line, but I'd rather buy it if it's available--and cheap enough.
Looks like those were originally cut to length, probably had to flair and fittings added. At least from what I see. I’d just make my own, it’s what I did on my Silverado with it’s narrowed rear end.

Beautiful day in N TX to spend some quality time with the Tahoe…

Changed oil / filter and fuel filter.

Mocked up some parts sitting around the the garage for years…. Need some additional fittings to finish it up.

Eventually will hook up to air bladders in the rear springs and have a regulator & fitting to air up the tires…

About a month ago I swapped to new Denali headlights off RockAuto. I got the Eagle Eyes ones, and so far they are great quality. Also put some LED's in them. The turn signals came from ebay, and no issues so far. Also did LED tail lights, but failed to get a pic.

Also got my front two windows tinted @25% and the windshield @50%. It's not too dark but does cut down on sun glare quite a bit.

This weekend, I finally did a dry fit on my 2020+ brakes and 17" wheels from a 2020+ Silverado. Everything fits great with plenty of clearance! Now I have to get my tires swapped to the new wheels and get everything mounted up. I got the Goodridge stainless line kit, still deciding if I'm going to do the rear lines when I do the front upgrade. I may just save those until I need to do pads in the back. I have new GMC center caps for the wheels too, just didn't swap this one for the dry fit.

Also replaced the Multifunction switch, so now my high beams don't come on when I turn the right blinker on!

My blinker turns my high beams on too--when I hit my right blinker. How hard was it to change the multi function switch?
Also I think you should swap the rear lines to braided when you do the fronts. I did all 4 of mine at the same time--make sure the new lines are out of the way of any suspension movement.

Honestly the hardest part was putting the plastic clamshell back around the steering column. Instructions tell you to remove the steering wheel in order to get to the lower bolt. I used a t25 bit and a 1/4 ratcheting wrench and had just enough room to get it out. I used this video for reference:
