Default Several issues.

So, the past day or so, I was driving I heard what sounded like scraping. My Tahoe started to pull me to to the left, and I lost brakes, but got them back.
I know I need to replace my ball joints, but what would cause my brakes to go then return? Also, the scraping "thud" noise? Could call joints cause loss of brakes? Maybe a missing bolt on the caliper? It's lifted about 8inches, so I go through ball joints a lot, but never this bad.

When you pull the rotor for ball joints, probably will see the rotor/pads need replaced.
