You must adjust them so that there is slight drag. As long as the drums don't overheat it is Ok not to back them off like the manual suggests. If you have already converted to the Colorado drums ignore my comment.

Sorry for the confusion. I ran the Huck brakes with the discs for a very short time after I installed the discs. Right now the truck is in quite a few pieces getting ready for a 235/T5/Colorado rear swap. So I'm really asking about what to run with the Colorado rear. I only through in the part about the Huck brakes to get thoughts on my my pedal travel was so long.

The Hucks were adjusted to slight drag. I suppose that's objective and maybe my idea of "slight drag" is too slight, but they are both definitely adjusted with some drag to them.
