Default front right tire locks up... need advice

Hey so this problem has been with me for many years, what happens is no matter what speed you go from 5 mph to whatever if you have to slam on the brakes or press hard for emergency reason the front right side will lock up and will pull the truck a little to that direction, so many times and recent I bought brakes, rigors, drums pads bleed out the brakes, alignment. I need to know how to fix the problem I'm used to driving it there is times where it looks on me.

Is sounds like your ABS system is not working correctly if at all.
We need more information though such as year, model, engine, mileage, etc to help you.

Could be lots of things going on here to include a collapsed hose on the left side making the right side do all of the work.

If you have not already, I would plan to flush/replace the oem brake fluid as a preventative measure.
