simple brake question?

Since I've onwed my jeep I've changed everything on brake sys except lines and master/booster. Recently I had to change wheel cyl. on pass/driver.
Last week I had to slam on the brakes to avoid accident and pass rear tire locked up. so I adjusted rear drums again. Now pass rear squeeks at low speed stop and seems to make a poping sound at any speed stop. The brakes have always given me problems, frt. and rear, but I'm running out of ideas. Drums and shoes are about a year old and my need changing by end of summer, they are the smaller 9" ones. The only real damage to system is I ripped off parking break cable its first trail ride. Other than that I'm clueless.

Is their cheap upgrades or aftermarket? That may be next step. Untill then any thoughts would help.

Just thinking out loud here:

It could be possible that the liner on the hose is torn and is acting like a check valve. It happened to me on a front tire.
There could also have been moisture in the brake system, causing rust now, which would lead to problems.
Ive replaced a master in my old truck, but it was leaking past the rear seal in the secondary(between the booster and master).
Have you replaced the hardware(springs and such) when you changed the shoes?

Thats all i can come up with for now....

Yeah, I do change hardware everytime. Saves time in the end.
However I never thought about the soft lines doing that. It makes sense, I'll check them.

Thanks.
