Default Front Brake problem URGENT

I am new to the blazer so i do not know much about it and how it works
I have a 2000 LS blazer when i purchased it had about 112000 miles on it
The brakes needed replaced so i went ahead and did that nothing but trouble since
First the front passenger side sticking then rear driver now front driver brake is sticking
But now my basic problem is both sides on the front brakes pads are sticking real bad to rotors i know both calipers are working correctly
I have Replaced:
2 calipers Front and rear driver side
4 hoses all the way around
4 Rotors all the way around
2 new brake pads front back
Bran new Wheel bearing front driver
I am pretty sure it is not the sliders but i am not ready to rule it out.
I solved all my rear brake problems but now it is sticking very bad in the front and brakes heating up
Could this be in the master cylinder or it is just the pins any ideas or suggestions appreciated I have tried everything i have no idea what is wrong at this point

Did you bleed the lines correctly?

Did you lubricate the metal-to-metal contact points on the caliper with grease? The pins and bushings

If the front calipers were remanufactured and not new replacements it's possible that they are bad..It happens

Default Cailpers

I took the calipers off and worked them they went in and out easy I am sure the calipers are fine could it be the prop valve in the master cylinder

the proportioning valve limits how much pressure is applied to the front and rear brakes, dont think it would make your brakes stick on..when they are installed have someone step on the brake pedal and watch to make sure that they apply and release properly

Sounds like the sliders are stuck. If these were not removed, cleaned, and relubricated with fresh high temperature caliper grease...

Where would i get that high temp lubricant auto zone? And the other thing i have tried and they seem to work fine but then they still stick but do you guys think that it really could just be the slider pins and if so could you recommend a brand of lubricant and how exactly you would go about doing this
