Default mushy parking brake and brake life

with all my tundra brake woes.... one thing has always haunted me. the parking brake becomes very mushy as the days go by.

after a brake job... i put the parking brake on... and it it tight a can be. after a few days... and then a few weeks... and about a month later... it is almost all the way to the floor.

does this have any effect on the front-to-rear adjustments?? meaning... as the parking brake becomes more mushy... does the rear brake adjustment become sloppy.... and i "use" more of the front brakes??? it seems my front brake life is terrible.

as i think about it.... as the parking brake becomes mushy... the truck feels like it is "harder" to stop. thats probably my imagination.... but i have always wondered about this.

any insight??
