Mike have you tried removing the abs fuse? My last truck had a lot of trouble staging and it helped a lot. I know it sounds kind of sketchy but several guys do it including some that race a lot. Just don't panic stop lol.

ACDelco has some decent priced stuff in a slotted rotor, made by Raybestos.

Rotors
Front
ACDelco 18A1206SD Specialty Performance Front Disc Brake Rotor Assembly


Rear
AC Delco Performance Rotor Chevy Disc Brake 18A926SD



ACDelco 17D784CH Professional Durastop Ceramic Front Disc Brake Pad Set





Rather than the Russel lines I was looking at replacing all 5 hoses rather than just the 3 in the Russel kit, these have some good specifications. I called them the other day to verify fitment...

The Russell kit does replace all 5 hoses.

Just snagged the kit off Amazon for $97. Figured I'd be about that or even more to have my local hydraulic shop do it. Might as well just order the Russell kit.

I never found the quantity's of lines in the kits, the new picture does show 5 pieces, some of the older depictions were just that, depictions. The location of the manufacturer was not to my liking and a couple of comments in the reviews on Amazon were not so good..

It certainly does. Cost about the same when I did it last year

I went down this path already and changing brakes did nothing. Got Russell lines, powerslot rotors and Hawk superduty pads. Still walks the brakes. I bet your hydroboost is weak. Has it ever been replaced?

Mine were made in USA, not sure where you are buying shit from.

Made in the USA with parts from China, difficult to get around that one nowadays in an international economy, like I said earlier you never know what's in the box. The Bosch glow plugs I just recently purchased, the box was Bosch the glow plugs inside the box were ACDelco made in Germany, go figure, from RockAuto no less.
