I just rebuilt my front calipers and if I were you I'd redo the seals just to narrow down the issue.. mines were pretty bad but changing them fixed my sticking issue

Are both calipers sticking or just one side? Make a mark with a crayon and roll it around to see which side wipes off. Do inside and out on the rotor.
If all 4 sides wipe off, your master is applied. If only 1 wipes off, look at the caliper binding.

check the torque on you axle. maybe it's too tight. should be 43ft/lb on the axle bolt. 16ft/lb on the axle pinch bolts. and 31ft/lb on your rotors. and 20ft/lbs on your caliper bracket.
