Rear Brake Issue

I've been diagnosing a poor braking/rough idle issue in my 95 f-250. Found the booster was leaking, replaced it, cured idle issue. The brake issue still exists which is when the rear is jacked up and im running in drive the left rear with stop then you have to really mash on the brakes to get the right rear to stop. Sometimes it won't stop at all. it is an intermittent problem. sometimes it works properly other times it doesn't. I don't seem to be loosing any fluid. the master cylinder is not leaking. It worked fine right after I blead the right rear and had the the brake light and abs light on in the dash. Once they cleared my issue is back. Anyone ever had an issue like this before?

well if the rear brakes have ever been serviced, I notice that it is really common for the shoes to be mixed up, like one upside down, or on the wrong side, or something. I would say give it a lookover with the drum off, and that might be worth a look.
