Recently replaced all filters along with a new membrane for my BRS 4 stage unit. Ever since it has been limited to a slow drip of output water..... I’m talking maybe a couple cups worth a day.

Any thoughts? Pressure into the unit is 50 PSI (same as always) and I did let the unit run for several hours after changing the filters
 
I suspect your RO membrane might be the culprit. You can test by removing the inlet, the outlet and the drain tubes one at a time to check water flow. I assume the new membrane has the same rating as the old one (25, 50 or 75 gpd) if you change the rating, you must also change the flow restrictor.
 
Have you ever changed the Flow Restricter?

never changed the flow restrictor..... I did replace with a non BRS membrane (same gpd rating) and I’m beginning to think this is the problem.

Brand doesn't matter, most are made by Dow Chemical with a different label. What GPD RO filter did you have and what did you install? 100GPD filters need 60PSI.
