no brakes

when i hit my breaks my truck hops like no other. I put new pads rotors stablizer bar and unhooked my front abs an it still does it. any suggestions? And also I just put a big KY single disk clutch in me truck and sometimes it'll garb an shift like it should and sometimes it wont. Could it be the slave cylinder?

Check your motor mounts and transmission mounts.

Sounds like an abs/speed sensor issue. Does your truck have the hydroboost?

Any codes?

The clutch issue could be related to your slave cylinder, they do only go about 100K miles.

Does the slave cylinder have a bleeder on it ? If not you need to replace with a prebled system Master & slave hooked together and do not separate them when installing
