OBS Silverado Brake Upgrade How To with Rear Disc Conversion (Crazy Stopping Power)

After looking over their website several times while owning the 2 door 2 wheel drive tahoe, I was able to try this rear disc brake conversion for the old body style Silverado, Sierra and Tahoe. Little Shop Mfg offers so many brake upgrade options for several models of trucks and SUVs. 88-98 Silverado and Sierra have always needed rear disc brakes and in this video we show you how to install them as well as several other goodies. Along with the rear brake upgrade to disc brakes I do the front brakes, stainless lines and NBS Master Cylinder Upgrade. All of these changes to the OBS Silverado Brakes is an amazing difference in pedal feel and stopping power. To go along with that the looks are SO MUCH better. You can buy the obs Silverado or Sierra Rear Disc brake conversion alone or do what I did and opt for the entire kit. All of these parts are a pretty straight forward install and can be done over a weekend in your driveway. Little Shop Mfg makes the best and most complete brake conversion kit on the market. It comes with absolutely everything needed. Go to their website and check out all the options available. Hit the comments and let me know what you think.....

[@scottfindlay2625]

I would just like to add this for the people, Drain your rear end, its most likely NEVER been opened since you've owned your truck, and i'm sure your axle seals and bearings are in need of service. Most people who decide on these conversions have over 100k on them so just service your rear end and replace the worn parts its only an extra 100 bucks for bearings, seals, and oil.... You can tear it apart once to do it or do it twice when you have to replace your seals and bearings, the choice is yours to make.... One last thing, any brake fluid that spills, CLEAN IT UP, it will lift any paint it comes in contact with.. Excellent video my friend, you include everything unlike many other videos that leave out critical steps and things..

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I agree on the rear end draining

I bought a 97 swb a couple weeks ago to flip it but I'm going to keep it. Fell in love with it after driving it to work. Fixing the AC first then adding cruise next. After that will be lowering kit, brakes and wheels and tires. This kit looks awesome so I will be using it. After that work is done ill be doing a frame up build on my 65 swb. Ill probably be using this stuff on it. Thanks for the vids.

[@ZackNakazora1]

@@TWAMotorsports isn't hard the big oofta is that it uses a k 1500 non f44 front caliper which means no ebrake. I feel there's other options out there. For example the rx8 rear caliper is only a touch smaller and has a built in caliper and they can fit 15s in the back just gotta get the right sized rotor. Maybe they'll notice this conversion and look into it.

First of all, this was an awesome video and very informative. 👍👏👏👏 I'm about to pull the trigger on the same thing myself. But I had to go on and do my front brakes, because the right caliper was sticking. So I changed them and the rotors. I watched another guy who cut off the backing plate on the rear, because he didn't want to pull the axels. I want to do a posi on mine....soooo🤷‍♂️ I thought about going bigger calipers, but I'd like to put my 15x10s back on.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Good luck.

[@garypease7414]

It's easier if you loosen the adjusters before you start beating on the drum. Rusted metal generally relies on vibration from the hammer strike to break free. The shoes against the drum diminishes the vibration so you have to beat it more.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you for that tip

[@scottfindlay2625]

you have NO ACCESS to the adjusters at all on these models you have no choice but to beat them off, one of Chevy's better engineering ideas, i mean mistakes.... You'd have to bore a 1/2 inch hole through the drum and axle flange to even see the adjusters. i have a 98 silverado and i found that if i taper the first 1/4 inch of my drum they will always slide off, its the grooved lip the shoes cause that binds the drums on. i'm going to do this conversion soon on mine.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Interesting

[@lolife999]

A great mod that is not well known for the lowered OBS TRUCKS is the Belltech #6658 UPPER shock relocator for the rear shocks. Please do a video on this mod to get the word out. These OBS trucks have terrible rear shock angles. And even worse when lowered. That would be a good time to notch the bed brace that’s directly above the center section of the rearend. Love your videos.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I will check that out

That larger Master Cylinder with a bore of 1.338" would make these brakes stop on a dime !!! So much larger than the standard 1.125 that came on original. great looking upgrade on an awesome truck. Great looking kit.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Really need to do both

[@kawabuggy3842]

I did a bunch of research into swapping my 94 Step side, LS swapped, silverado, over to big brakes.. After looking at all the kits, and feeling frustrated, I built my own.. I bought Camaro SS Brembo 4 piston front calipers off of Ebay. Then I bought NEW from O'Reilly auto parts some 14.9" rotors from a Grand Cherokee.. all in-parts were less than $500.00 The calipers say Brembo-Chevrolet in red.. The truck absolutely STOPS now when I step on the brake pedal. I now need to move on to the rear, and again I will be using the Brembo calipers off the rear of a Camaro SS.. Not sure what size rotor I will be using on the rear yet.. but I've got time to figure that out...

[@TWAMotorsports]

I would be interested in seeing pictures of that. Email me. Twamotorsports at hotmail

[@cyclingfan2010]

Do you need to change the brake booster to do this? I’ve got a 88 Silverado with the 1” front rotors and I’m looking to do a brake upgrade this spring.

[@TWAMotorsports]

No but a good idea

[@DavidRamirez-kt3ou]

Are those little shop front calipers an upgrade or improvers from the oem? And how?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Other than color I believe the piston is a little bigger

[@eltavoloko4080]

You didn’t have to take off the long bolt that’s why your breaks are falling 😂 but you got me searching already doing the conversion on mine 😎

[@TWAMotorsports]

It definitely looks and brakes better

[@headstash1]

Would you recommend this kit if you tow or haul once in a while? Does it have enough to safely slow weight?

[@TWAMotorsports]

I would think so.

[@gregoryjones9754]

Great video, how long did it take you to do the swap?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Probably 8ish hours. I did a little each night

[@raymondgaskin9050]

Do you need to use lock tight on the 4 bolts that hold the new bracket in place?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Probably wouldn't hurt

[@twinkiee8503]

actually got the kit and fixing to put it on today, question is though since my trucks getting painted and can't really break in the brakes, could i break in the brakes afterwards?

[@TWAMotorsports]

You could

[@damonberryman6784]

2 questions: 1) Did this used to have that ABS module and you removed it? What size wheels and offset are you running?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Still has abs. 20x8.5. Not sure on offset. Came with the truck

[@michaelblackwell4686]

I’m wanting to do this to my 95 k1500 z71 since I’m rebuilding the front end soon so that be nice and put the braided lines in.

[@TWAMotorsports]

They make great stuff

[@keithtappe6505]

@michaelblackwell4686 what parts are you using for the front end rebuild? I have a 95 Z71 K1500 as well. I've been looking at the Kryptonite Products tie rods, ball joints, pitman arm, and center link. All their parts carry a lifetime warranty and they pretty much dare you to break them(these things are massive, 1⅝" hexagon solid center link!!)

[@michaelblackwell4686]

I’m using Detroit axle stuff and when I get the money I’m get some other stuff

[@1sik96]

What size are the front and rear rotors? Really thinking about ordering this kit for my 96 2dr Tahoe.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Honestly I'm not sure. Call them and tell them you saw the video. They are great to deal with

[@hobo1958]

I think if if I was going that far I would have replaced the rear bearings and seals also. Just thinking forward.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Plan to do that down the road

[@derrickmcquillen2883]

I am confused, my obs is a 97 and the calipers are not bolted in. They slide together on the knuckle and held in place with a pin. Did you do some sort of spindle / knuckle swap?

[@TWAMotorsports]

No. This is a drop spindle but same set up

[@KANDYPONTIAC78]

Hey great video! I have a question. When working on the front calipers, is it normal to have play in the brake pads? I can actually push the caliper back and forth (I haven't torque down yet but bolts are tight). Thanks

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes until you bleed them.

[@KANDYPONTIAC78]

@@TWAMotorsports thanks for your help 🙏🏽

[@TWAMotorsports]

You're welcome

[@guadalupeesquinca1080]

Do you know if we can go to any auto store and buy replacement rotors or do we have to keep buying rear rotors from little shop after making the conversion ?

[@TWAMotorsports]

If you call them they should be able to answer that. Not sure

[@mauropedraza3969]

What about the abs module? will it still work/communicate with the rear disc conversion? Or would you have to upgrade the module

[@TWAMotorsports]

Sure does

[@tonypadilla6404]

Like Your Conversion, My Question Is The Front Disc is de Same Diameter than the Old Ones ? And Now the four Of them are the same Diameter Or ? Hope You can Tell Me I would love to Do it On My Truck

[@TWAMotorsports]

Fronts are thicker but I believe the same size. If I remember correctly the rears are a little smaller. Call little shop and they can help you out
