get the rear drums adjusted well? I had a low pedal in the Dakota and enough problems with the pressure bias to get a brake/abs light (there's a sensor between the brake F&R lines that senses bias in flow/pressure and if it sees too much fluid movement between the lines it'll throw those lights). once I brought the shoes out to just draggin (and backed off my seized ebrake cable) the pedal came right up and it's stopped great since.
if it's getting better that sounds like a likely situ, since the auto-adjusters might actually be working (what a shock that would be!)
