1995 front brake caliper change
My driver side caliper was locking up when I stepped on the brakes it would pull hard to the left and make the wheel hard to turn when going slow (some times). So I changed the caliper, put new fluid in, bled the lines on both sides of the truck made sure no air was in it. Just test drove it and it drives fine and does not pull anymore but I feel like there's a bit more travel in the pedal now. It stops fine when you slam on them just didn't know if this was normal or its just my head messing with me. Anything I can do to check if everything is good.

i could be backwards but i believe you should bleed the brakes from the back pass, back driver, front pass, driver front. did you do this? also you could either adjust the rear brakes with a flat head or the proper tool. or just put your e-brake on and drive forward to loosen, backwards to tighten .. at least this is what ive done in the past.
