My shoot from the hip thoughts based on the info provided is are the calipers sliding freely? If you hadn't mentioned new hoses that would've been my first thought.
Just my two cents

Yeah, the contact area where the calipers slide should be lubricated with the special lube available in the little packets at the auto parts store. If that isn't the problem, change the master cylinder.

Last time I had dragging brakes on a Ford was my 93 Explorer. The booster had failed and would not return. Mine was dragging all 4 with the front taking the major hit since they kind of activate first off the master cylinder.

The other possibility is an incorrectly installed master cylinder that is set to tight to the booster rod but this usually only occurs when the booster is starting to fail and not returning all the way.
