brake pedal travel

About a year ago I installed new dual res MC ,new brake lines, front discs on front and new shoes and cylinders on rear. Pressure bled system and had brakes. Put the cab on a few weeks ago and yesterday install a remote reservoir on the firewall. Hooked up the pedal and I have 4 inches of pedal travel before the the pushrod makes contact with the piston. I have the pushrod fully extended. I looks like I need a longer pushrod. Anyone run into this? I'm going to go get some more brake fluid and rebleed the entire system but I dont think thats it. I dont think it bled down ,I just never had the cab and pedal on before and didnt concern myself with the travel.
