Default Rear Brake Drag

'92 Dak 4X4...sat 7 years while I saved money for a used engine...after gettin her back on the road, ABS and Brake light on...but it stopped fine and no rear brake drag. Now, two years later, back brakes started dragging to point that smoke rolled off of right rear drum. Two weeks ago, replaced shoes and all springs using a drum brake hardware kit. Worked fine till today...left rear dragging now. Did not replace the self adjusters and cables...should I? Is the RWABS causing the problem? Would resetting the ABS module stop this?

If you have rubber brake hoses going to that wheel it could be collapsed inside.
