Hi, Everybody-
I've read lots of amazing forums here about upgrading GMT400 Suburban brakes using K3500 DRW and C3500HD parts (special shout out to THEFERMANATOR, Big T, and Pistachio Bob). My question is whether using a brake booster and proportioning valve from a 1997 C3500HD, which was a disc/disc set up, would present any safety issues in my '98 K2500 Suburban which is a disc/drum arrangement. For context, I will be installing new K3500 DRW calipers, pads, rotors, wheel cylinders, shoes (Durastop per bulletin); a 1997 C3500HD brake booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve, and the curly steel brake lines connecting the MC to PV; and also putting in braided SS lines front and rear.
As much as I want massive stopping power for my behemoth Burb, my first priority is that this brake overhaul will not put my family in a likely dangerous braking situation given the disc/disc vs. disc/drum compatibility. I would appreciate your expertise and input before I for sure pull the trigger, thanks!!
