Brake problem?

Just wonderding if anyone else noticed this?
It seems that my rear brakes are the only things working on my truck. The front ones have 94k on them and still look brand new. On the rotors on the inside of the braking surface there is rust spots kinda big in size about an inch and a half in dia. The rear brakes were replaced 1 year ago calipers, rotors and pads, I have about 32k on them. Spendy by the way. The pads are dang close to be needed to be changed and also they have wore a good amount in to the rotor.(pretty good ridge on the outside. When the roads are wet the back tires just skid as I come up to a stop. What I am wondering if calipers and rotors up front would cure my problem or is there somthing esle I am missing.

Bleed the front brakes and see what happens. You may have air in them.

Not sure how air would get in there. The front has never been apart, and the master cylinder has never been low. I will try it and see what happens.

Just be careful if you decide to put a wrench on the bleeders. I just did rears and the bleeders snapped off, had to buy calipers.
