Default Brakes, Again...

I just installed the dual disc settup and it seems that its only stopping the front wheels, is this normal? When I lock them up, it wants to do serious front flips.... Can I add another settup to the rear?

It will stop all 4 tires (stops the output shaft to the REAR) but it's stopping the tranny from working and that will stop all 4 tires unless something is not right.

Pick it up off the ground while not running and test the brakes.

EDIT: I guess I type too slowly. The weight of the truck shifts to the front under braking, which is why it wants to flip, it has nothing to do with the rear tires not being slowed. The brakes are actually on the rear driveshaft, so all of your tires should be getting brakes. I don't really see any possible way for only the front to get slowed down.
