Update on my problem
Here is an update. Thanks for all the responses. I gave summit a call and since the brakes where brand new they warrantied them and sent a set of front rotors and pads. I changed those out and went on a test drive. The bouncing did decrease a little. The front no longer bounced but the back of the truck still did. Summit then sent a replacement set for the back. After installing the rear set and going to a test drive I am glad to say the bouncing is gone. Now to those looking for brakes. I would avoid PowerStop. I had no issue with braking until I put their brakes on my truck. When removing that first set I found the rotors to be somewhat darker then what I would expect. They also had scratches and these small little burn spots on them. The inner pads seemed to have quite a few chunks missing off the braking surface. The rear pads where even worse. And on top of that when they sent my replacement rear set one of the pads had a 1/4" by 1/4" black scorched spot missing. In the end the powerstop brakes are now working but next time I buy it will not be from them.
