ok, they're all the same. but i was asking if they're the factory original size. this will affect the ABS system too, since a smaller tire will make it think the tire is trying to lock up. even going from a 235/75/R15 to a 235/70/R15 can cuase this issue, had it happen on my '92.

i guess your truck has drums, 'cause i'm totally impressed with the 4 wheel disc set-up on my LT.

kinda nice, since i can actually make the rears "lock", to help swing it where i want-most times!

I think the truck being a 2 door has something to deal with it, too. The short wheelbase, high height, and relatively light weight seem to add up.

Agreed. Then again, I went from a Suburban to a Blazer. But my truck has great brakes, and have a surprisingly good brake feel.

yeah, but my 'Burb stops amazing as well. better than my '95 Buick, and waaaay better than the disc/drum set-up on my '92 Jimmy. hard to believe, but it does.

guess having those hugh 11 1/4" x 2 1/2" drums out back help alot!

still, i plan on upgrading to the SSBC rear disc kit soon.
