Default Sway bar relocation for true duals

I'm running symmetrical true duals under the axle and want to reinstall my rear sway bar, for obvious reasons, but the exhaust is staying put.

I'm wondering if i can use a universal mount kit and relocate the bar from the bottom to the front of the axle tubes a bit. I would move the end links accordinly as well

It looks feesable in photos, but i want to see if anyone else has tried. Nothing shows up when i do a search.

I feel like it would adversely affect the handling of the car if you move the bar forward. I almost feel like the car would push in corners or something. Idk, just a hunch I have.

I considered possible drawbacks, but i can't really think of any adverse effects as long as i mount it proportionately. If anything, it may slightly reduce the efficiency of the bar, having the axle slightly farther from the end links, but i can always get a bigger bar if the relocation is successful.
