Question Bad Vibration (Challenging)

I have a 99 4x4 Superduty 7.3 with 96k I just replaced the calipers,rotors, pads and anti sway bar supports. I also put 4 Dueller revo a/t s on I now have a vibration/grinding noise under the following conditions:
After I hit a bump- vibration starts hit another bump-vibration stops
Cold weather the grinding/vibration is very strong until it warms up. If I stop the truck the vibration will stop(almost like a release) When I start there will be no vibration until I hit a bump. The vibration occurs whether I am in gear or not, 4x4 or not. At higher speeds (over 40 mph) the vibration is steady.
Should I pull apart the axels and check for bad bearings? Any ideas?-There are so many threads on vibrations but none seem similar to mine.
Thanks

Me thinks you may have gotten the wrong brake pads and/or There is missing or damage caliper hardware.
If you still have the old pads around, pop the new ones out and look at them again.

Your vibration sequence looks familiar (vibrates after hitting bump, doesnt stop till another bump hit), I think in the past another member had the same problem. If I remember correctly, it's the wheel bearings. I'm not 100% positive on that though.

I feel your pain on the number of vibration threads, there are TONS!

I'm sure someone will be along to help you shortly!
