I haven't used one, but what I would be concerned with is the width. It is my understanding that the Grenada rear ends are less than 60 inches wide (wheel mounting flange to wheel mounting flange), so I'd be sure that it will be wide enough for your 55. The 57-72 nine inch pickup rear is closer to 63 inches. Installation would require moving the spring pads. A pickup rear would be easier and fit better.
