Default Torque arm setup

well I haven't posted in almost a year so figured I would update....

I currently have a home hacked weekend job 2 link rear (panhard for lateral control) with airbags on it.....it sucks and I don't trust it....I made it in a huge rush as the car was my DD but has logged on 30,000 miles almost on this setup so it is plenty worn out now.

I have some poly bushes and sleeves laying around (solid and pivot styles aka johnny joints) and some steel....

I can get some bolt in subframes for my car and a rear crossmember to attatch the torque arm links. I can put in a crossmember for a torque arm to mount to and then toss some coil overs on the rear and move my panahrd (currently on the back of the housing)

I haven't really studied torque arms much as I wanted to go with a tri-4bar but need a new suspension asap and no time to backhalve the car right now. I was wondering if there is anyway to mount a torque arm to keep ground clearance under control? also what are your guys's thoughts on ford third member mounted panhard bars?

I currently have an 8" in the car and was just going to bolt to the front of it for the TA and weld some coil over mounts to the housing.
