I called the following manufacturers:

Kugel, Says he is concerned with the vehicle weight., will not supply
Progressive, Only front steer
Morrison, Only front steer
TCI, Their max weight is 3800#-4000#
Heidts, Only 28” frame width
Fatman, A 33 LaSalle owner not happy, already broke two bushings.

What was the weight of the 54 Buick?

4400 and change..... I did do some extra gusseting on the crossmember and the coilover mounts, I always do regardless of weight... The rear steer could be a problem... Not a lot of rear steer units out there. What width are you going to need on the crossmember???
I have some sources for crossmembers, and also I do business with a smaller company that could possibly be talked into making the A-Arms out of chrome moly.... At least I was able to talk them into it a couple years ago for a "special project" that was going to be subject to some heavy cornering loads on a road course... Could do some checking for you if you want?????
