Sorry if I'm outta school here but aren't 2006 SS (RWD, so they are 14 bolt 9.5 with drums out back) the larger front brakes already? That info posted above sort of confirms and then contradicts that but I think there's some confusion (confusing me, too) regarding the RWD-only SS's. The SS guys with AWD models do the cheap front brake upgrade using the 06 parts.

i was looking at Callahan Brake Parts kit number CCK0227 on amaz... calipers, pads and rotors for $180 priced right but after some time on google found out is really Power Stop and a lot of mixed reviews on the company so im not going down that road
just leaning on OEM parts unless some one can point me in another direction?

I bought a set of these from this same person a couple months ago. I want to say they arrived in 3 or 4 days, (great time for heavy brakes). They were packaged well. The pads weren't even fully bed in, (no marks on the back 1/3rd). The calipers look great. I don't think I left an itrader rating yet, but I would definitely recommend these over the powerstops, (especially when after shipping, these were more than a bit cheaper than the powerstops). I would definitely say I'm happy when I bought the same thing from the same seller.

On another forum I am on guys are dropping the 2019+ half ton 4 piston front calipers on the 2014 to 2018 trucks. All it requires is a couple washers between the caliper and bracket to center the caliper on the rotor but otherwise is a bolt on affair. With that in mind the 2019+ trucks front brakes will work on these old heaps too.

I remember why I stay off that site. There's a lot of very confident horse crap in there. At least in here I know I can search keywords by 1Fastbrick
The 2014-2018 use the same brakes as the 2007-2013. I look forward to seeing when someone puts this on a NBS, sounds like it should go right on like it is on the other models
It sounds like 18s will fit, but I want to know if 17's will fit. I'm still undecided about putting a PPV steels and tires on it down the road, and would love to know if those brakes would fit. I'd rather plan for the "oh ****", and the WTF moments in life. That PPV setup is rated to hit a curb at 40mph head on and keep going no problem.
