Default Choppy brake pedal

Hi everyone, I have an 01 xj with 4.5 inch iron rock long arm, 4.10s, Spartan front locker.

Recently when I have been braking, at about half pressure or a little less i feel the pedal start to get choppy. I don't feel it through the whole vehicle, only in the pedal. Any thoughts on what it could be?

Thanks, miles

If its a quick pulsating then its the abs kicking in if you have abs.

I do not have abs. And I put new rotors, pads and shoes on less than 5000 miles ago

And this is normal braking not slamming on the brakes, just normal driving scenarios. I'm wondering if it could be a bad booster or master

Usually pedal feedback is related to rears. Front will be felt thru steering wheel. Did you have drums and rotors turned ?
