My front brakes have just been replaced. Pads and rotors only. They were fine for the first two days. Now when i have in reverse they are locking up and in order to back out i must hit the gas. The truck will violently shake when this happens. Everything seems to be working properly when I am in forward.

Look at the caliper mounting bolts, it sounds like one on the bottom may have come out, or wasn't put back in in the first place! This would cause the caliper to ride out in reverse and rub against the inside of the rim, and maybe even get a bit jammed. Then in drive you unbind it, and all seems well...
