Brake pedal going almost to the bottom after lift was created by Mart3971

Hi guys I have recently done a 2" lift. Pretty sure the brakes were normal before but now when the engine is off they pressure up lovely right to the top of the pedal. When I start the engine the pedal drops a good 3\4 before I get any resistance. I have blead them and all seems good. They do stop the car just worrying when you get so much travel on the pedal, doesn't fill you full of confidence when you need to hit them hard.

Right i have fitted a new master cylinder and bleed the system a number of times and still having issues. Could it be the rear brake valve failing and causing the lack of pressure? Can i remove the valve?
