2nd Gen to 3rd Gen Front Brakes

did the 2500 swap make a big difference? Also, does the 2500 swap work for a 2000? I know the 3rd gen swap is popular among the heavy duty truck just don't know if I can do it to a 1500. I'd like to upgrade my front brakes if possible. Just don't know which route I can take.
Last year I did the full swap with 2500 calipers, new rotors and pads up front, and new cylinders, shoes, and kits out back. Brakes like a new truck.

Made a huge difference. I can actually brake with confidence with my 285s. It was always scary before. The calipers are the same size they just have a larger piston and larger pads. Rotors are the same size too. Even if they fit the same mounts on the knuckle on your 2000 they probably won't be much better than your dual piston. I would just get some fresh calipers, solid rotors, and cheap pads. (You want the pads to wear, not the rotor.) That should be enough braking for you.

I feel like I remember it having a separate bracket, but I'm gonna have to check tomorrow. I'm hoping it's got a separate bracket.
