brake system trouble

hey well i think im having problem with my brakes. back in augest i did the whole back system, from pads, hardware kit, adjusters, rear cylinders, and all new steel lines up to the drivers door. the brake pedal felt great. now i feel its getting spongy........i dont think its a leak but could air have workerd itself into the rear calipers from a repair so long ago? also the truck sits during the week and is only used a little on weekends....could it be from lack of use?

If you bled brakes and still bad. Check emergency brake cables . These freeze up from lack of use .And keep brakes from applying all way. I had it happen to me. Also the small adjuster cable in rear brakes can come off or break .And check rear adjustment. They don't adjust up like should even with new parts. Will give you bad peddle. If none of this helps your master might be going bad. Check the small things first. Good luck
