Everyone looks when you fly up to an intersection with the rears locked and the old MT/R's squealing like a mother.
It might be worth checking into stepping down to a 1/2 ton sized caliper for the rear. On the newer (GMT800) trucks, the front calipers from a 1500 are used on the rear of the 2500 HD. Might as well swap in one of the hydro boost units while you're at it
