Truck jerks when soft braking!!!

[Soaringcook]

my ram 1500 2wd hemi brakes ok when I fast brake, but when I brake softly it Jenks right at the end. I already greased the drive shaft and turned off the hill assis.

I leveled 2 inches and replaced the stock shocks with skyjacker 2 inch elevating hydro shocks. The jerking was happening before and after. It only happen at full stop.

Sounds like a warped rotor. I have one on my 2500 with only 17,000 miles (had about 14,000 when it started).

How can i pin point which one?

Any chance a caliper or caliper bracket is loose or missing a bolt?

Dhay or firetruck both could be right. It could also just be a caliper hanging a little. Most likely it’s the right rear or front since it’s jerking right at the end. Try lining up the sliding pins and the metal clips that the pads set in 1 at a time and inspect the pads for wear. Sometimes a caliper just hangs because it can’t release because of rust or just usage and it will grab when you don’t expect it to.
