I'm not familiar with 4X4 front ends but most drum brakes are the same.
Do they have star adjusters? If they do, make sure they are collapsed as far they can go. Usually, the problem is the shoes are worn into the drum, which creates a ridge. Once you get the star adjusters dialed down try moving the drum backwards and forwards. This will ( hopefully ) get the shoes to collapse in towards the hub.
If I were you I'd do the brakes while your at it unless they're relatively new

The Master cylinder they gave me was the wrong one. I had NAPA order another one using the number ND gave me and VIOLA'. problem solved. I figured after bleeding the brakes six times with no psitive result it had to be the master was bad or it was the wrong one.
The real pisser is I painted the first one before I put it on so they probably won't take it back

Got a refund with no questions asked.
