My truck has a low brake pedal, I have replaced the front brake calipers, rear brake shoes, and still the brake pedal goes to the floor. I have clamped off the two front lines and the rear. That gives me a good firm pedal. If I take the clamp off the rear I lose about an inch of the pedal. I remove the clamp from the left front I lose about another inch of brake pedal. And of course I take the right front off I lose everything again.

You have air in system if you have abs which it probably is, rent a power brake bleeder and bleed system that way it can take up to three quarts. If still doing it a local professional will need to open valves on abs unit with a scanner to bleed it.
