A solution that worked well for us in some applications is performing some slight modifications on trac_ik to make it work better with < 6 DOF systems.

And a example robot configuration using the options here: https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_tracker_planning/blob/master/hector_tracker_robot_moveit_config/config/kinematics.yaml
