Upgrading Brake System on 2000 Silverado
 
I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado that is currently on a 4"/6" DJM drop with 22" rims and 285/30/22 tires. I am in the process of raising it back to stock because I am sick of dealing with it being so low. I am going to put 22" rims with 305/45/22 tires and Bilstein shocks. I have not decided if I want to lower the rear end 2" to level it out with the front, but the forum member's suggestions would be nice. I feel it might be necessary to upgrade the brakes because of the increase in wheel and tire combination and I was wondering if anyone has done so? If so, who did you go with? I was looking at a Baer brake system, but it looks like only the front end rotors and brake pads are made. If not, everything else I have looked into is about $3000. Thanks guys.
