Did you do any work to the rears? When you do work on the front brakes, you're not going to notice it if you don't set up the rear shoes. Normally after you do front brakes the pedal is still going to be spongy if you don't set up the rears. Also the rear brakes on this generation truck have a tendancy to sieze up and cause a spongy pedal, I kow I have the same truck. Just my .02 cents. Hate to see you spending all this money if it could be a simple fix like this.

Do u have drums or disc on rear?
It is a good idea to adjust the rear brakes... You may have leaking rear wheel cylinders or worn out shoes, these conditions will cause long pedal travel.
Even if you have plenty of meat on you shoes it may be far adjusted...
Also, the RABS proportional valve may be at fault... If you only have rear ABS that is.
Every lil bit of info helps, hope I did!

Is it just my imagination running wild or does this point to an underlying problem?
