tonight i pulled the front calipers and rotors off to get the rotors turned and put new pads on.. while i had it all apart, my friend decided to go in the cab and pump the brake pedal which resulted in the piston being pushed out of the caliper. One on each side did this. i got them back in, but my question is: when i go to put it all back together, what are the chances of it leaking? they didnt leak before, and i pushed the pistons back in with a C-clamp and then pumped the brakes a bit and it didnt seem to be leaking, but im not sure when they get a load on them.. should i be concerned?
 
bleed the brakes to get the air out of the system, other than that you'll be fine.
 
As long as they were good and clean when you pushed them back in they should be fine. If you have any doubts it is easy enought to rebuild them.
