You might try going with 63" chevy springs instead. They will give you a lot of articulation if set up right.
I know a guy that had 1/4 eliptical springs on the rear of his truck but didnt like them. He eventually went with full length springs.

Ditto what seaflea said, plus there is no way to make 1/4 ellipt or anything like it safe for the highway. REally.
