Brakes Locking Up

All,

I tried a search but could not find anything. If this has been discussed before please point me in the right direction.

Anyway, About a year ago I changed out the wheel cylinders to one ton cylinders, installed all new hardware, 3" brake shoes, bypassed the RAWL (sp?), and uplugged the box behind the glove compartment. Now the rear wheels grab horribly

. It does it quite bit espically if the road is wet and/or the truck is empty. Do I need to install a propotioning valve, new master cylinder, adjust the brakes, or what?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you for you time.
