Default Brake Problem

I hope someone can help with a problem on my 99 Silverado 5.3 2WD 116,000 MI
When I brake the truck has a hard vibration, light hopping feel in the floorboard and steering wheel, feels like it‘s from the front end. The truck brakes straight as an arrow no pull left or right at anytime I turned the rotors and put premium pads on (all 4) replaced brake fluid rotated the tires and still have the problem. The truck has new tires and shocks X4. Not sure if it’s a caliper, rack and pinion or? (calipers bleed fine no obstruction in the lines)
Thanks

I am not an expert, but I just replace my brake pads and rotors with EBC yellow stuff pad and sport rotors. I did the job myself. The pads and rotors had to be bedded in inorder to removed the protective coating. As I went through the bedding process I noticed extreme noise and vibration, particularly right before the vehicle came to a complete stop. Once the bedding process was complete, all noise and vibrations went away. I reccomend you review the installation procedures for the brakes installed, and check to make sure that all bolts are torque to the proper specification. Additionally, you may want to check to see if your rotors were within specifications to be turned?
