No point in a rear strut bar. Putting a bar between the rear shocks won't actually brace them against any deflection. The bar will just move with them. Bracing the rear spring supports is useless as well since they are already part of the chassis. Also because it's a solid axle and not independant the rear shocks need to move with the axle. Bracing them, properly anyway, would tear the shock mounts off the axle under hard side to side load.

The load of the chassis doesn't go through the shock mounts anyway. The spring perches that are just inside the shock under the floor handle the load. The shocks just control the bounce of the rear end and the rebound of the spring.
