Brake Residual Valves

So I did the disc brake upgrade on my CJ. I am using the 69 Corvette Disc/Disc M/C and Caddy calipers. I have bled and bled and bled the system, using gravity, traditional pumping, and also purchased a vacuum system. I even bench bled the M/C.

Last night I took the jeep out for a test drive and noticed I still need to double pump the brake pedal to get a good pedal without excessive pedal travel. The jeep will stop on one pump but there is just too much pedal travel, almost to the floor.

Any ideas? I can't imagine there is air in the system, but I know this is the typical symptom of air. Do you think a 2lb residual valve would be a good idea for the rear brakes?

Does anyone know a good place to have brake systems bled?

Let me know.
