Check the fluid after you drive it a bit. See if it is foamy.... Might just be some air left in the system.

The pull when you brake is likely a..... brake..... problem. You have a caliper hanging up, or a collapsed line. If your front soft lines are original, replace them, pull the calipers, check the pads, make sure the calipers more freely on the guides, etc.

I noticed my pads where down a lot so I planned on putting new pads on it this weekend I was just wondering if I could have goofed it up when putting steering box in but I will definitely check out the calipers and all that this weekend the rotor itself on the passenger side looks pretty good on the driver side theres a few spots that have pitting in it the rotor itself looks straight I’ll have to send some photos when I pull them this weekend

The nickel/copper lines are easiest to work with. Braided stainless soft lines firm up the pedal a bit. Several companies also sell complete kits for the hard lines in various materials. Just depends on what ya wanna do.

On a stock truck, stock rotors are just fine. The drilled and slotted fellers are just for looks. You won't see any difference in braking, and the rotors are prone to cracking around the holes. Maybe on a track car they might be useful, but, for the street? Nope. Just a gimmick to extract money from your wallet.

You really think so? The 2500 I just bought has them (came with them) and I think it does brake better. But no real way to test that

I think it has more to do with what pads you put on there, than the rotors.

I did get the ?Ceramic? fellers, the most expensive pads they had.
