Default Brake Problems

Okay I have a 91 xj that i am having brake troubles with

first off things that i have replaced
master cylinder
porportioning valve
calipers
rotors
pad
rear brakes

basically my problem is I press the brake and I dont get any resistance until I reach the floor and the back brakes will lock up, while i am wheeling it will not hold me on a hill so really want to get this fixed before my nxt trip.

I have bled the brakes about 10 times and still nothing
and yes calipers are on correctly

Did you adjust the rear brakes after replacing the shoes?
