My first, instinctive reply is that you should check your alignment.

What exactly do you mean by "bobble"? Does it pull to one side, does the whole truck shudder, or...?

If, by "bobble" you mean it feels like the wheels moves side-to-side a little, it's probably that your rotors are slightly warped. It shouldn't pose a problem unless it gets real severe. I had an old Chevy that felt like it was bucking, when stopping from a moderate speed.
When the front brakes are serviced, either have the rotors turned or buy new ones.

My guess is the rotors are warped.
