Cal Trac Shock Mounts

I would agree that probably 95% of the flexing occurs while towing. I would suggest fixing some kind of temporary stanchion under the rear frame somewhere. Just tightening down the rear (of the car) until it doesn't move anymore, just does not seem like a good idea.

I have always tied the rear end down but the front was tied down by the front cross member, now that I'm changing over to the Calvert's I'm thinking about loosely tying down the rear frame then over-inflating the rear tires to cut down on bounce.

Can't see any other way to tie the car down without tying down the suspension or frame?
