1991 f 150 custom grinding noise up front with brake problems

Hey guys so iv got a 1991 f 150 4x4 with auto locking hubs lifted and i was driving the other day and i started to hear grinding noises from the front of the truck. i looked under the hood and under the body for any signs of rub or grind or anything and i cant seem to find anything so i said o well maybe itll go away. then the other day i took it out of 5 mins and as i was driving it had gotten worse then sounded like something broke off and about 1 min later my brake pedal went to the floor as i tryd to stop i had about 1/2 inch of brakes and the pedal would rise again. also my parking brake for the rear tires still work so. Any body have any advice.... ive looked all over and cant find any leaks or rubs or shaving or anything. thanks in advance
