Default HELP REAR brakes locking up

Ok so i just replaced the rear brakes , drums, wheel cylinders, hardware and rear brake line and the ABS sensor on the rear end of my 1993 F150 2wd 5.0 truck. I am still getting mild rear wheel lockup when i drive and both the brake light and abs light are still on. I been reading that it is probably my ABS Hydraulic Unit going out. Could someone please confirm or give me some input??? I believe this is the part.
Also the whole system was completely bled with new brake fluid....

Your RABS Unit is pretty much the only thing left. It does some funky stuff when it goes bad.

I had the same issue and it was the tailgate and the rear lower shock mount being loose. Like mentioned before, the tailgate is usually the culprit.

When the brake light and abs light come on together, it's usually because the float in the master cylinder is stuck near the bottom (or your fluid is really low). Makes sense because you just bled the brakes - have a look at the float.
Rear wheel lockup is usually either a wrong adjustment or e brake cables.
Short shoe goes to the front - long shoe to the back (they have the same number of letters as their position as a way to remember forever) in case you want to double check that.
