brakes...

finally got the new drive train in and drove it... realized the break peddle almost reaches the floor before it slows down. I also had problems with the e-break, but i've been told the way to adjust that is running the truck in reverse and hitting the break... I did just replace the rear breaks (shoes, springs, drums). Any ideas why the peddle goes so far before I'm stopping???

Thanks guys...

Bleed as ........RT rear, LT rear, ABS valve, FRT right, FRT left. Top up the M/C reservior often..... use only DOT 3 fluid.... never use synthetic it will foam up in our systems.
