2002 f150 fly 2wd brake issue

Ok, 2002 f150 all new calipers, rotors, pads, hoses, master cylinder, abs bypassed, and I still have a very spongy brake, and I have bled gallons though using 2 person method and with a vacuum bleeder, brake pedal drops st8 to the floor, I'm lost

Is it possible the upper piston in the front calipers has air trapped?

Do you have the correct caliper on the correct side?

If the caliper is mounted on the wrong side of the truck, the bleeder screw will be at the bottom of the caliper and will never purge any air from the top portion of the caliper.
