Default Help...Brakes???

Hi all.
I just had my brakes done, new pads, rotors, etc. Primarily because I had pretty severe vibration when stopping. I also have vibration at around 55-70 MPH.

Well, the vibration when stopping is not as bad as it was, but it isn't completely gone.

I'm planning on sinking quite a few bucks into my truck, and want this fixed before I go any further.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the vibration only when stopping or is it there while driving to?

Check the tire wear and wheel balance, front end alignment, and steering and suspension components.

I had the wheels balanced (at a very reputable small shop), the front end was alligned about 2 months ago when I got new tires. I had someone at the same shop check the suspension, and they said everything looked tight. Most of the vibration is when I stop, but there is some any time I get in the 65-70 MPH range. Note, I thought it was the rotors, so I got new ones for the front. It's better, but not quite right.
