Default 94 F150 Ext Cab Lift & Brakes Questions

i got a 1994 f150 ext cab 4x4

i bought the truck with the lift it has already.

i was able to fit 35s on with no porblems after spacers exc..

i want to just lift the front of the truck,
how can i make sure how much of a lift i have already or if i have any at all?

i believe i need a new brake booster, i have no brakes at all now.
i noticed my rear drum brakes leak from the brake wheel bearing i believe someone told me.

i was thinking, i would want bigger rotors in the front and maybe converting rear to disc. is it worth it ?

thanks for all replys.

Converting rear to disc is possible but spendy. Post a pic of the front axle from the front and I can tell you how much of lift you have. How did you diagnose the booster problem?

Your most likely leaking from the wheel cylinder if you have no brakes and a leak from back there. Does the fluid smell like gear oil or barely any scent at all?

Normally I buy wheel cylinders when I do the rear pads. You local auto parts should have them.
