Question brakes fading

F150 4x4 3inch body and 4 inch suspension

Well I believe my brakes are in need of help.
when driving and I stop, I press the brake pedal and it sinks
to the floor real slow and then I have to sometimes release
and press them again to get more braking power to get the
truck to stop. Is this a master cylinder issue or a brake booster
going bad? Calipers and pads are fine. There is enough pads
left on the drums. That all checks out fine. I do not see any
lines looking wet. I might change the lines going to the calipers.
where can I get longer ones because of my body - suspension
lift?
I want to replace the booster anyways to the F350 brake booster
along with the F350 master cylinder. I cannot find the link to the
proper part numbers for that replacement.
Any suggestions would be great
