Default Shuddering when braking 30 mph+

This started just after 36k. I only use the truck on the road with a occasional joy ride down the trails. Has anyone else had this issue?

Someone had a similar issue and had their rotors turned and it solved the issue.

There is a long list of things that messes up brake function is this way:
- sticking calipers or caliper slides overheating the pads & rotors
- unevenly torqued lug nuts (noted)
- failure to completely clean the hub to rotor mounting surface.
- cheap brake pads that can leave residue on the rotors, creating an uneven braking surface that gets worse over time
- your own braking style (noted)

Im having bad vibrations at 33k, and I am sure its warped, but I am going to replace rotors than having them turned. Going to get something slotted for sure and some nice Hawk pads.
