Hey couldn't see the advice wondering what the problem was for the soft brake's. I have the same issue, parked my 94 xj for winter, brought out to put a lift and 33" on it noticing the brake pedal would go right to the floor. Bled the brakes, didn't change fluid, helped a little but still pretty soft...

I had a soft pedal too when I first got my Jeep back in last fall. After looking into it at my (old) work, we noticed that the rear brakes needed to be adjusted and changed soon.(drum brakes) It's back to being soft so now I'll get them to put new shoes in.
