Did you use the tone rings that came on the new rotors, or reuse your stock ones? Mine was kickin ABS when i used the tone rings that came with the rotors. Replaced with stock and its fine. I would also re-bleed the brakes.
Oh, and where did you get your SS front lines from?? link please?

really thats a thought i used the tone rings that came with it. is it hard to remove the originals? brakes have been proffesionally bled.
www.classictube.com...however I will say this. yea they look dope they came with 100% SS hardware, no mods needed BUT and thats a huuuge but.. they took forever!! crap communication and I asked for 5" longer than stock and they sent 12" longer than stock. Not too happy bout that. I actually ran them around the spindle. ill get pics soon.

i installed powerslot rotors on my truck and had similar problems. i dont know why but they kept kicking on the abs and it would make a horrible grinding, but not all of the time. i bled the brakes, reinstalled the pads, put new bearings in and re-torqued the bearings numerous times and nothing helped. i finally said forget it and put on the auto zone pads that were plain just like stock....lo and behold it all worked fine. the abs rings looked the same on the powerslots but they definetely weren't so i would suggest putting the old rotors on or trying oem rotors.

stock '01 rotors and tone rings vs. powerslot rotors and tone rings = difference in the 'holes' on the tone rings. I think the powerslot holes were smaller than the stock rings. Dangerranger01's truck had the same issues when his slotteds went on. Carried the stock rings over to the powerslots and everything worked just as it should.
