Truck shakes during braking. All brakes have been replaced, rotor, calipers. Seems worse the more weight that is in it. Runs down road great

Have the pads been replaced, and new rotors will need to be surfaced, sometimes they arent perfect when purchased. I would resurface/turn the rotors, and replace pads if they havent been, the pads should atleast be inspected for cracks or pits.

Rotors may need to be turned/resurfaced, because they are new does not always mean perfect, also they could be warped, I wouuld also check the pads, not only that but if there are drums in the rear they could have a crack or pits too
