I'm looking to mount the springs under the frame. I'm thinking of using straight 2x3 tubing. The problem I'm looking at is I want for the bottom of the frame to be around 18-20 inches from the ground at the rear axle centerline. Can the axle be mounted under the spring, and will the spring still do it's job on controlling axle wrap. I know the axle is normally mounted on top of the springs.

Dave I have an article from back in 65 on Landy's alterd wheelbace car with the strate front axle and the rear in that car was under the spring the car was sittin high front to back.
I have run SS/spring for a long time if I was building I would go with ladderbars unless you want the look of SS/springs
