    @Farvafire , being that the issue started when you replaced the wheel bearings, I'm going to say that there was an issue with how you torqued the axle nuts (that maintain wheel bearing preload) assuming it is 4wd, an incorrectly tightened retaining nut on a prerunner hub assembly, or a faulty bearing.

    When a wheel bearing has play, it allows the rotor to push the pistons back in the brake caliper. The next brake application then has to push the pistons back out the where the pads and pistons contact the rotor, and that is your low pedal feeling.
