After quite a bit of researching, I can't seem to find anything that seems to be similar to my situation.
So, I replaced the front rotors, calipers, and pads. Re-packed the inner and outer bearings. Right front hub would not spin with the old caliper on. Took it off and the hub spins freely. So bearings ruled out as culprit it seems. When I put the the new pads and caliper on with the caliper bolts barely tightened the hub spins freely. When I tighten the caliper bolts all the way down the hub becomes frozen and will not spin. It doesn't look like I have contact with the dust shield. Any ideas?

I believe the V6 rotors are slightly wider than the 4 cylinder, is it possible you ended up with the wrong rotor so your caliper doesn't have clearance?
Can you bolt the caliper on without the pads in it or does it drag then as well?
not part of your issue, but the anti rattle spring is in wrong, must be wrapped around one of the pins or you'll lose it.

The rotors were the same size as far as I can tell.

Thanks. The pads aren't contacting the rotor. It's only an issue when I tighten the caliper bolts all the way down.

Well...figured it out. I'm a dumbass. I installed the pads incorrectly. Fixed that and now she's good.
So, here's a tip for all, bolt your caliper on first, then install the pads. Also, put the anti-rattle spring on before inserting the last pin and make it go through the loops in the spring.
