Default 70SS nova ls1 suspension help - spinning problems

Looking for some suspension help.

Ls1/60e 3600 ptc 3:73 and 275/50/15 et street R, caltrac split leaf mono rear, one of the lowest rate trick springs up front, caltracs a in the bottom hole, Viking double adjustable rear, Calvert 90/10 up front. Car spins on the hit and then shifts and bogs.

Compression 0
Rebound tried 6 and 3, no noticeable change.

Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Doesnt seem like you're getting any weight transfer; rear begins to squat, but hardly gets anything and then the front hardly lifts at all before blowing the tires off.

- What are the compression and rebound settings currently at (front and rear)?
- How much preload have you dialed into the caltracs?
- Make sure that the front suspension isnt binding; if you remove the shock/spring, then put the suspension at fully compressed and drop it with your hand it would go to full droop completely without you helping it.
- On the leaf spring make sure its not in backwards; aluminum bushing in front, poly in the back.
