I recently replace my brake booster because it was shot. I haven't had time but i know i should probably bleed the brakes. Anyways when i apply my brakes i can move the pedal down probably about 1 to 2 inches before i really start to feel any resistance and i can feel the brakes being applied. Then I'm already reaching the floor if i were trying to brake hard. Is the pedal adjustable? Or do i need to replace the master cylinder?
p.s. i'm lifted about 4.5 in with 30in MT's

Mine was like that this morning. Bleeding them took care of it.. But I didn't replace a booster, don't know if that helps you or not.

Bleed all the fluid out and replace it with fresh fluid. Then bleed normally. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and breaks down. Its a good idea to replace every 5 years.

x2 or 3 on the bleeding. if you go thru the trouble to replace parts- like the booster- then bleed it dry and fill it with fresh.
