It will take alot of setup and compromises to make this work. it is possible, but you probably want a spare frame to start this with.
I found this article for you, maybe it will help some:

I also suggest reading a suspension book. Herb Adams wrote a really informative one that I can recommend

Chassis Engineering
is the name of the book. Herb Adams was the Suspension guru for Pontiac for many years. He son owns VSE now. Cool guy to talk to as is his son.
