Default 2008 2500 cummins Driver side brake caliper sticking

OK I can really use some help. I have a 2008 Dodge 2500 Cummins. Lifted on 38s
I have a new set of 38 's put on last week
About two days later my driver side break caliber started locking down. I replaced the brake caliper and the brake line.
I had to replace the caliper again because I thought it was a faulty part. It is still locking down after a drives for about 20 minutes.
If I pump the brakes hard and use the unlocks it and let it go or if I get up to about 70 they will unlock. Any suggestions on how to fix it from locking down?
I already replaced the brake pads whenever I put the new caliper on but I did not replace the rotor because I just put a new set on a few months ago that our ported.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
This is my first time of ever posted on here so it may take me a little while to reply back.
