Short bar on a leaf spring car?

Just setting here thinking of some off the wall things. Since my rearend slides over in the corners quite a bit I just had a random thought of running a short panhard bar on the left side, my gear already has a short bar/j-bar mount. Any one ever tried it?

probably would want the bar as long and flat as possible, that way it doesn't bind up the springs.

Very difficult to impossible without binding the springs.

Don't run one too short and with a lot of angle. When you get off the gas, it will make it very twitchy.

If your rear leaf mounts are spaced wider than the front mounts you shouldn't need such a thing. Like MBRacer said it's very hard to do with any success.
