Rear drum brake upgrade for 93 4x4 p/u

My rear brakes just are not working like they should. They help a little,
but I can't get them to lock up even on dirt. I replaced all the rubber
lines and rebuilt the master cylinder. The rear pads are adjusted
correctly and I have the proportional valve adjusted to max. Even with
the parking brake pulled out and on dirt, I can't get the rear to really
do anything. The fronts are doing most of the stopping.

I think part of the problem is the Hawk pads I have on the front braking
better then the stock pads in the rear.

Does anyone know of some super soft pads or drum upgrade I can do to the
rear to get them into the act more?

I know the fronts do 90% of the breaking and the brakes are designed not
lock up the rears, but I should be seeing more then this.

Thanks for any suggestions.
