Bigger brakes for 2004 Tahoe

Trying to fit 13" rotors, calipers and brake pads spec for 2008 GMT900 on 2004 Tahoe.
I was under the impression this was a direct bolt on swap, I seem to need shims or spacer between knuckle and caliper bracket....

Am I missing something?
Was there a running change in caliper geometry or spacing ?
.
Also, going with Semi-Metallic pads, hoping for better "Bite" Is this better than long life ceramic pads, or do I have it backwards?
