It is most likely that the Wheel/hub bearing need re-torquing on all the axles. - This should be done every 250k miles, but most truck owners severely neglect doing this. After bearings are re-torqued, the ABS sensor needs to be set to correct distance once bearings are re-torqued.

-- I.E. neglect.

May be a dumb question but I have to ask because I'm having this same problem.....what is the correct distance that the abs sensor should be set at?

The documentation for the sensor should tell you the correct answer. .. However most mechanics will simply slide the sensor up against the tone wheel and let it find its own clearance. Not a bad idea if you are unsure. The sensor is friction fit into the housing and is supposed to have some give for just this reason.
