I think the easiest way is to use a longer spring in the rear and extend the chassis a bit for the shackle mount, that can get you to about 92" wheelbase

LWB chassis is same to about the back of the front seats then curves up to over the diff from there with a section inserted in the curve for teh front spring mount, I think it would be pretty hard to replicate this without an expensive RHS bender

A LWB chassis wont have to be modded, it will be the right length.

I like that! I think would still not be the best setup for putting 3 kidlets in the back though.
