If the proportioning clogs or damaged it can cause brake problems such as yours take pressure readings on all 4 calipers the proportioning valve is just as it says differentiates the pressure front to back also the abs unit itself can cause the same problem also
Testimonial: "thats kinda what we were thinking so we actually unplugged the abs to see if it made a difference and its still messing up. we are gonna flush the brake system and see what that does and plug the abs back in. i do believe the abs unit is a salvage part. its been wrote on with a yellow marking saying 2000 blazer and i know it wouldnt come out stock like that so maybe its already had issues with the abs before we bought it. ive dumped atleast the same amount of money into it as i paid and its costing me like $80 a week in gas to go to and from work which is only about 12 minutes away so its robbing the gas mileage bad"

check brake lines they may have gotten pinched very commonok new c/k trucks when you crank the torsion bars up to far you may have hit something and pinched the brake line check those before messing with the master cylinder those are a real pain
SOURCE: replaced both front calipers, rotors,
The best way to bleed the brakes is to start with the master cylinder and work your way back. after you are sure all the air is out of the master, got to the rear and open one bleed screw. do not touch the brake pedal ,but let the fluid drain, keeping the master cylinder full, untill the fluid comes out clear,like new. Close that side and go to the other rear wheel and repeat. After the rear is done close all beed screws and pump the brakes at least 10 times .Then bleed the front in a normal fashion. Try to close the bleed screw before the brake pedal hits the floor.If you still have air in brake system then there has to be a leak letting it in. Gravity brake bleeding is the easiest way to remove air in system
