Default Getting a 2wd rcsb to hook...

Got a 2wd rcsb 370 s475 th400 caltracs bogarts with 29.5x10.5x15 for rubber in the rear no sway bars 4/6 drop with flip kit. What do I need to do for getting this pig to hook I've tried a few things? Thought about fabbing up straight behind the axle shock mounts to try. Any other suggestions? Much appreciated

George,
Everything is new on the truck so I have alot to do towards setting up the chassis I know it's trial and error kinda deal but I want to be in the right direction if possible. Shocks and struts are mcgaughys . Caltracs are adjusted according to caltracs tech. Not cranked down alot but the roller definitely does not spin on top of the leaf. The weight is a guess right now I need to scale it soon as I can find some scales.

You should have adjustable shocks for Caltracs and not lowering shocks

Did you adjust Caltracs with weight of driver in place?

Mine is stock height with rear blocks removed, front sway bar removed, caltracs set as per the instructions, 315/60r15 ET Streets at 20 psi on 15x10 cragar soft 8's, stock front wheels and tires. When it had stock shocks all around it yanked the wheels off the ground, I have rancho rs9000's in the rear now but haven't really driven it since they were put in.
