Some brake issues

I just replaced the hydro boost and master cylinder on my 99' 4x4 because i had alot of travel in my brake pedal. With these new parts i cant tell much diff. like I thought I would . my pedal may actually have more travel does anyone have any suggestions?

Dumb question, but I assume you did adjust your rear shoes first?

Past that, I could offer no explanation.

I did adjust my back brakes first but i still dont think its right. Im going to try the 30mm GM wheel cylinders on the rear tomorrow and see if that makes a diff.Thanks for the advice

Hmm, do you have air in the lines?

And how far is the pedal traveling?

I swore I had a new truck after I did the 30mm conversion. Now my truck stops faster and easier then my daughter's little puke scooter two door.

I done the 30 mm conversion and recommend it to everyone . I think I had some air in the junction valve so between the conversion and the air in the junction valve I got brakes Thanks everyone
