Note my jeep has the UD60's front and rear with around 11k miles on them... Ive never had this happen before or anything close.. Im at a loss..
My only guess is air in the lines worked there way through after all this time.. Or, master cylinder took a dump?? When I added the new axles I changed out the master cylinder with one from raybestos so I wouldn't think thats the case.
Any thoughts, opinions, similar cases this has happened to anyone?

With the jeep off push on the brake pedal with even pressure and see if the pedal goes to the floor. Try that a couple of times. If it does needs a master cylinder.

Just went and tried that. First push went about half way down, second push was less around 1/4 of the way down, third about the same as the second push

Look over everything really well for leaks and signs of bulging brake hoses or anything unusual. If nothing appears wrong, bleed the brakes because like others said it could be air. If that doesn't do it you need a master cylinder. Your symptoms are conducive to air or a master. Just because you recently changed it doesn't mean it's good, and typically raybestos stuff is the same as any other Chinese reman so a defective one wouldn't shock me.

Op did you get this sorted out?
How are your brakes with the Raybestos and UD60's?
What part numbers did you use and are you an auto or manual?
I order the Mopar master and reservoir and it seems to be on backorder, so I am curious of maybe alternate route with my UD60's for helping stop the one ton brakes.
Thanks,
Robert
