SS brakes on an LT

I have an 08 ss parts car in the driveway. I was wondering what it takes to put the breaks on an 2010 lt? The front look pretty easy just the caliper brackets and rotors but did not find anything in the rear. But not great with the search function eaither. Any help would be appreciated. Any other parts from the SS worth swapping?

Yeah, the Search function won't work very well if you use the wrong spelling.
FYI. It's spelled BRAKES.

To do the rear you will have to swap out the drum axle (beam) for the SS disc setup.
Not that difficult. Took me about 8 hours.
Several here have done the swap, including me.

For the front you just need to use the SS rotors and caliper brackets, you still use the LT calipers.
For the rear as mentioned you use the SS axle beam , including the E brake cables and the flex brake hoses
