No, there is not a whole heck of a lot of room back there, but one solution would be to mount the fulcrum to a cradle which was attached to the third member cover bolts (hence not permanent) and the radius rods properly attached to the frame. Griggs has a solution for the tiger, even though this is for a modified coilover system.

Here is the idea:

Another solution would be to utilize the spare tire well as the fulcrum (probable irreversible modification) and attach the radius rods to the axle tubes.

I believe Steven Waybright has a very nice watts setup on his car.
