Vibration when I brake-
I thought my wheels were bent but swapped them out for my stocks and I still have vibration when I brake.
I am guessing my brakes are warped but don't see how. I figure the 6.3 brakes being two piece and drilled would be pretty hard to warp plus I dont drive hard.
any ideas beside warped brakes

might want to search the forums. iirc, there were a few people complaining of this issue and had to have rotors replaced. i could be entirely wrong and like i said, iirc.

Could be brake pad deposits on rotors. Try bedding your brakes.

it could be ...
1. front control arms
2. front ball joints
both are fairly common, go about 30mph and slowly press the brake if you feel vibration and possibly the steering wheel shakes a bit than those items need to be replaced

The rotors are probably the issue here. If the problems were ball joints, bushings, or wheels, then you'd have the vibration other times too, not just when you are braking. You probably need new rotors.
FWIW, in my experience, the fronts are more likely to warp than the backs, because of the extra bias up front. You might get away with just the fronts.
