Maybe I missed it. Which size of tundra calipers did you go with? I think you had a combination of things going on.
1] air in the brake lines somewhere
2] the rear breaks don't take much movement to effect pedal travel. So one adjusted good and the other bad would effect the pedal height.
3] The tundra calipers come in 2 sizes. The wide 199mm size and the larger 231 mm size. The 199 mm is the same diameter rotor as stock. Just accepts a lot wider rotor and stock rims fit.
The 231 mm caliper is larger and the stock rims don't fit. Lots of members have reported soft brake pedal after doing this upgrade because the there is a difference in the caliper itself besides being wider.
4] it's best to get your emergency brake cable and bell cranks in good working order as you can use your emergency brake cable to keep your rear brake shoes well adjusted.
