Brakes just went out!!
I just installed my 6.5 rc lift this weekend and on the way home my brakes decided to quit working... I can feel them start to grab at the very bottom of my pedal. i bled the breaks yesterday morning worked fine all yesterday but today thye quit. there isnt any leaks anywhere and the fluid resevor has the same amount in it... anyone have any idea

could be your master is bypassing. with the engine off, pump the brakes and get rid of the vacuum. now apply steady pressure and see if it holds. if it sinks slowly and you don't see any leaks, chances are the master is bypassing internally. you can pull the master off the booster and make sure it isn't filling the booster with brake fluid. i have seen master cylinders fail after brake flushes/bleeds.
