Feels Like RABS is activating

After replacing the rear shoes with genuine Motorcraft parts and new drums I now have the issue of what seems to be the rear anti-lock system activating under hard braking. Tried it on wet pavement and the seemed to activate and lept the rear wheels from locking along with the "shutter" feeling. Truck doesn't have much traction when empty anyway but don't remember this before the new brakes. The other shoes and drums were definitely worn out so maybe the new shoes are working "real" well. Any thoughts out there?
