does the pedal 'feel right'? you could need bleeding, have some broken linkage issue, or have a worn out clutch.

When you say 'raise the backend' - is this to allow the rear wheels to rotate ? Could be the clutch plate is stuck to the flywheel if the car hasn't been used for a while. Let the engine heat up thoroughly - and allow the heat to soak through into the clutch - this sometimes frees it off. If not - release will involve trying to start the car in gear - with foot hard down on the clutch of course - either with the starter motor - or with towing. Just take care to not run into anything!

Did you change the clutch hose? New ones can be faulty and expand not allowing the hydraulic force be transfered to slave piston.
