Heres a pic of mine (sorry its not a cruiser, its a lux :D )
I used Izusu bighorn trailing arms and a custom A frame (which I thinking of redoing) and a nissan navara ball joint. Can't tell you how well it works as I still working on the front.

Basic rules for good geometry is to keep the links as long and as horizontal as possible. Assuming that you do this then you shouldn't go too far wrong in terms of both anti-squat and axle steer. If your concerned about axle steer then use a double triangulated setup with the lower links converging at the chassis end.

Other than that, it's difficult to go too far wrong as long as nothing binds.

Oh and you'll need at least around 40 degrees spread between your upper links to maintain enough lateral control. This figure (40 deg) is commonly quoted as the minimum.
