04 F150 FX4 all new brakes rotors calipers pedal goes to floor

2004 F150 FX4 all new brakes, rotors & calipers.
I put on new front and rear calipers(fronts had new bracket too), brake pads front and rear, parking shoes on rear, and new front and back rotors.
Bled brakes until clear fluid all the way around but pedal goes to floor?
If I push it hard it stops where it should but slowly goes to floor & if I push it slowly it will go to floor.

Luckily I ran across this post https://www.f150forum.com/f4/brake-p...brakes-413055/ so they get all the credit! Accidently put the calipers on the front on the wrong sides and the zerks were not at the top. So we switched them and re bled the brakes. Now the brakes are working perfectly.
