Hard break pedal

I changed my plugs and cops and now my brake pedal is hard to push and get my truck stopped. Has this happened to anyone else before and also what do you do to fix it?

You probably disconnected or knocked off the large vacuum line to the brake booster. Does it make a hissing sound?

Re-double check the vac line to the booster, it is either not connected or broken. 99% sure that is where the problem is at.
