unhook it from the axle, zip tie it all the way up, go down a gravel road and hit the brakes, rear end should lock up

You can also test it by hooking up a pressure gauge.

then see if the pressure changes as you add more weight to the bed of the truck

well duh but who has a pressure gauge (maybe you? lol) to hook into their brake system. I know i dont.

You dont even need a gravel road especially if its wet out, just use your street thats my tool of choice hehe
