Went to the local tire shop (BigO) and the guy there said the brakes were not adjusted properly and would cost 300 bucks for them to replace shoes and turn drums. Figuring they dont know what the heck they are talking about, I went to Napa auto (where they always seem to know about vehicles) and the guy told me the shoe wear was perfectly normal, since the forward shoe typically does all the braking and the rear shoe is for the emergency brake.

I had bought lifetime shoes yesterday at autozone for 20 bucks, and the napa guy said not to replace the cylinders if they are not leaking. He also said you need to pressure bleed the system if you change the cylinders, and newer vehicles require a complete brake fluid flush every two years since the fluid attracts moisture abd can rust out brake components.

The FSM does not say anything about pressure bleeding, just says to do the bleed the old fashioned way, but it does say to bleed the LSP and BV, but does not say how to bleed those 2 components.
