Please help,, Brake Question..

I need some help. I just swapped out my stock rotors and brackets for the z51 rotors and brackets. did not touch the brake fluid at all, and now when I drive around, the brakes feel super slushy and non responsive. And when I driving, it feels like im driving with the parking brake on. I have an automatic and when i normally take my foot off the brakes the car inches forward, but now it doesnt, like the brakes are engaged.

I dont know whats wrong. Did anyone else have this problem? any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Spongy feeling is air in the lines, you need to bleed them again. Dragging could be the E-brake your going to have to look while the car is off the ground and the wheels are free to spin.
Also, before installation did you re-build the calipers?
