No traction with these crappy Yokohama tires.

I need Caltracs and better tires.
Not bad I ran 15.1 on 33's with a crew cab.

I have CalTracs being delivered tomorrow, but now I'm thinking I just need to get a 4-link installed.

Are you planning on running the truck deep into the 9's or something? Why do you need a 4 link?

That's actually a good question.

Not looking to drive deep like that, but I'm already about 3k in on my suspension that should have been just a simple bolt on setup. (parts and labor; mostly labor). Should I keep throwing good money after bad or just go full custom and be done with it?

Point of reference: current setup sucks for traction, street and track.

Caltracs will get it done. I see no reason in spending $5-10K for a 'full custom' rear suspension when you aren't planning to drag race it.

Well the Caltracs will be in today so I'll go ahead and install them and see how it goes.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with GWEE.

I also have an email in to Ride Tech.
