You might be at the limit with the 72 calipers ( I assume that's what you have) and those big tires. When I did my Blazer, I used bigger rotors and 2003 dual piston calipers, and I'm also running 33's. It stops on a dime.
Nice idea on the rotors and calipers, I'll start sourcing parts. where did you get your parts from? saw the mods in your build
