Default Rear tire vibration

I just had two brand new rear tires put on my truck. The reason I got them was because I was getting a vibration in the rear before. The tires were slightly scalloped. So now the new ones are on....and I'm getting that vibration still. In an effort to avoid losing these tires as well.....can ANYBODY give me some insight as to what the problem could be.

My truck:
2004 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi Quad Cab with 122,000 miles. Stocks might be stock, not sure. Factory 20's

Alignment could be off, wheels and tires need to be balanced or one of your wheels could be bent or defective (a curb check can cause that if you hit it hard enough) quick way to check that would be to swap the tires front to back and back to front and see if the vibration changes from back to front. Were the rear tires wearing faster than the fronts or in specific spot? Rotors may be warped in the back or the pads/pistons may be sticking or always engaged.
