On my 1008 (k30) when I hit the brakes at speeds 25+ when I first hit the brakes it will make the whole truck shake pretty bad. It only does it 50% of the time. And if when it starts if i let off then press the brakes again it goes away, or if I hit them harder it will go away. Its just the truck that shakes, not my steering wheel, my steering is real tight. So this is just my rotors right? Or could it be my wheels?
 
first off i know its repetive but check u bolts, if you find a loose u bolt check that leif spring center bolt.

second have someone get inside your truck and shake the play out of the steering wheel turning left and right with out turning the wheels without the truck running, while you look at the draglink ends, tie rod ends looking for play in them.

third , check the caster angle should be about 6 degrees back.

fourth check the toe in measuerment, about 1/8 to 1/16 of a inch depending on your tire size.

pm me with what you found because i hardly ever check the posts ive replyed to
