I'm not gonna do all your homework for ya but I'll get ya started (search pirate). you can get away with building a single, ladder style arm and mounting it closer the center of the axle. the main thing to keep in mind is that a leaf sprung suspension setup doesn't follow a perfect arc as is cycles. so, run the arm from the axle up to a crossmember that you'll make. to prevent binding, you need to mount the arm to the crossmember one of 2 ways: a) with a shackle or b) with a slip joint. you're gonna have to search alittle to find out what size tube to use, the exact design you wanna go with etc but this should get ya started
