Default Brake issue

My trucks been shakin awhile now as I brake. It'll only do it as I am casually brakin at 40-45mph. I've put on 6 brand new tires, new steering stabilizer, new rotors both sides, new pads both sides and new caliper on passenger side. What could be the cause of it shakin like that only at that speed?

Can't tell if drums are out of round without measuring. Get new ones or see if they can be turned.

Rule of thumb after many years. If it shakes your butt in the seat, it's usually a problem with rear brakes. If steering wheel shakes, it's usually the front. Disc or drum on the rear, they have to be measured correctly before determined to be ok.
