Well, those are your basic 1/2 ton brakes... some stuff to check:

• Adjusters can turn freely and are adjusted properly
• Wheel cylinders are new and the annoying little piston arms are on correctly
• Maybe the parking brake cable is unbalanced, like it's frayed somewhere and catching?

Is it both sides, or just one?

seems to be both sides. driver side a bit. pass side a lot.
