Trailer making my SUV lock up.
I have a Jeep Cherokee SUV with towing package, and am pulling a Coleman travel trailer. I have a weight distribution bar. It has electric brakes. Without the trailer attached, I can go any speed...

Have you had to add brake fluid before you installed new brakes ? If so when you installed the new brakes the master cyclinder would now be over full and when the fluid gets hot it expands and locks the brakes.
The master cylinder does not get hot and is not used for an expansion reservoir. Fluid squeezed out of the calipers does however get forced back into the reservoir as long as it is not overfilled, if it is it will either leak out at the lid/cap or you will not be able to compress the calipers.
