Default 97 f150 right front brake caliper

I have a 97 f150 six cyl,5 speed, front disc ,rear shoes, the right front brake caliper started locking up and got hot. I replaced the right front caliper and also both side brake pads. I didnt have anyone to help with bleeding the lines and tried gravity bleeding both sides. I still
have a soft pedal that travels several inches, not firm like it was,also when the vehicle is off
the brake pedal comes up real well, firm and high, I finally got someone to help bleed the front brakes after 7 or 8 rounds of bleeding both sides still no air coming out,just good fluid flow?
it seems like only the rear brakes are working some the truck will stop but seems to lunge some, do i need to bleed the rear brakes also?? any other things to ckeck and how to check if needed

thanks stranded sam
