So I come home from training.. Go to drive my jeep.  I have a squeak/chirp from brake booster when i step on brakes...  I have a very soft peddle and I can no longer lock up my tires.  Before I left when I bled my brakes it was with force.  Now it has a soft stream... Any clue what the issue may be..

New master

New brake booster with hardware

Sounds like a failed seal in the master?

This.

The rear shocks get badly abused on a TJ.  You should also brace up the lower shock mounts because they bend.  Not "if" but "when."
