That is a classic symptom of a bad brake line, but you state that they are new. If so, it could be a few other things. Did it do this before the latest round of work, and new parts? First guess would be ,if they are 're-built' calipers they could be bad off the shelf, and are binding. Could be bad proportioning valves. But it would be strange to have them both go at the same time. Follow the lines back to around the front side of the differential, find the valves and give 'em a few smart whacks ( not too hard, don't kill 'em)with a hammer to see if they release.
