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.
