You still have the antilock crap on the rear...I have one and when it scraped out my brakes did the same thing...you can look into that maybe

I had to bleed the master cylinder first.. then start at the back and work my way forward. Still not happy with my pedal. I may check into the stuff at the rear because mine has that too.

But try bleeding at the master cylinder first!

No anti-lock on the rear
pedal still goes to the floor
brand new master and i bench bled it until there was ZERO air before i installed it.

Here are some better quality pictures for your guys
the front will still go another 1.5" lower once i drag off some of the sub frame
still need to make a panel to mount the gauges but there were more important things to do today.

Since I have parked my truck I had actually replaced my rear shoes and springs so there is a very good chance they could be out of adjustment. As soon as I am off work I will have to try and readjust them, thanks for your help. I'll let everyone know. What happens

Do those shocks limit the lift in the rear any? My rear set up is very similar to yours with the bags on the bars. Mine has alot of lift and I'm wondering if I'm going to have a hard time finding shocks with enough travel.

My rear drums have the little finger on the gear that automatically adjusts them as the shoes wear and as of no they are perfectly adjusted the drums barely fit over the shoes. There is zero air in the system yet the pedal goes right to the floor, new pads/shoes as well as a new master last week.

My shocks SERIOUSLY limit my lift and they are the only shocks close to fitting within my requirements.

didn't you mention something about some soft brake lines for the rear? just a suggestion have someone push the brakes and check them out for expansion, hope you get it figured out so that you can enjoy it.
