Offset shackles

[old guys rule]

I have heard of guys using offset shackles on the rear leaf spring eyelets only to help with body roll. Is this advisable for a street car?

I have never heard of this to control body roll. I don't see how it would help other than maybe it binds things up?
A rear sway bar is proven and affordable.

I put Firm Feel rear sway bars on both my B-bodies and was pleasantly surprised at how much they body roll.

For what it's worth, I saw a 30+/- Essex hot rod this weekend that had the rear spring perches about 2 feet wider than the front perches. The owner said that it was the stock spring configuration and was done that way by Essex to improve handling. (!?)
